Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071217.htm An additional tidbit: there seem to be links from the guy in my first post to the name "Jorie S. Maxton" in "West Chester, PA." These may or may not be related; the sites that peruse public records all charge fees to get in deeper. At least the ones I kn...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071217.htm Google gets the press but before they were around, Alta Vista was (and still may be) the most thorough search engine. It shows a "Jordan Maxton" on the UK version of eBay asking a question to a seller about a video game system. The link is: http://cgi.eb...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071217.htm Lovecraft was one of the many writers I discovered when I was a kid, at around the same time I discovered Harlan himself. The Lovecraft paperbacks are long since lost (I believe my mother threw away most of my books at some point while I was in middle sc...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071007.htm The real correction that should be made is having me not open my mouth (via my fingers). The folks that have set me straight about Ms. dePasse are absolutely correct. I need to calibrate the settings on my television or something, though. Acutely sorry.

Unless I'm completely confused, the Suzanne dePasse that is interviewed on my copy of the "Lonesome Dove" is actually a blonde white woman, not a feisty black one. That just seemed like a correction I needed to point out...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071007.htm If this was noted in a previous month, I missed it and I apologize for the repetition. Harlan's name is mentioned in the Roy Thomas introduction to the Marvel Masterworks Warlock Vol. 1 edition. It's in reference to a letter a reader had sent in flatteri...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071007.htm Okay, since nobody's done it, I'll be the first... After reading Peter's link, I'm going to start a legal defense fund for the gang. If anybody'd like to contribute, e-mail me offline. Used appliances, guns, ammunition, and the suspect "massage lotion" w...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071007.htm I did click through on the link provided by JeffR. Here is what comes up: After due deliberation, it was decided that the effluvia of this minor genre scribbler are of insufficient merit or significance to sit beside the likes of Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein...

And I have to confess to a gutter curiosity as to the event that got Ted kicked out of Wonderland. I wonder if Sturgeon ever wrote about it. The story about the guy reading one of Sturgeon's book at a bus stop is a good one. Years ago I met National Book Award winner Peter Matthiessen and he talked ...

I followed your suggestion after querying Harlan in the Pavilion; I re-read and posted the actual typos this morning. So now that I've read most of the piece twice, I found it to be excellent. Like Harlan said towards the end, it was about the trails he and Ted cut together. It was not an objective ...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20070808.htm Hey, Harlan: Here's what I found: page XV, second to last paragraph: "...I don't think it's every happened..." - should be "ever happened" page XIX, second to last paragraph: "...Flaubert put is much more..." - should be "put it much more" I loved the pi...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20070808.htm Harlan: I got my copy of the new Sturgeon collection today and I posted a message in the forum that I found two typos in the first 22 pages of your intro. Jan suggested I note them and share them with you so you could fire them back to the publisher. You...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20070808.htm Everyone seems so concerned about wait times and cost of insurance. I think the real problem is that WE are not the customers of the doctors, it's the insurance companies. THEY'RE the ones whom the doctors must please, as many have told me. Before any ch...
