Science Fiction

First in 1993 when I attended the two week writing workshop taught by James Gunn (another master of s-f) at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. I more or less grew up on Fred Pohl's writing, and I simply could not get over being in the same room with him, listening to him critique my writing.

I saw him a year later at my Writer's of the Future workshop, although he didn't seem to remember me. I saw him several more times at other Campbell Conferences.

He was a giant, and I was privileged to know him, however slightly.
