Re: Below

Is there any sort of plan for a get-together at 'Fusion?

I'm arriving early Friday afternoon after picking up Hal Clement
at the airport.  My wife and I have a room in the hotel.

  Good Lord!  I love Hal Clement, not for fiction, but for the lovely
  "Alternative Life Designs" piece he wrote for a SETI book some 15
  years ago.  He's a personal hero, and I don't have many.  Who's
  the lucky soul who gets to drive Pete Abrams and Stubby, the Super-
  Torched Mega-Blok Toddler (as seen in Sluggy™)?

Hal is a great guy! I enjoyed all his fiction, and meeting him in person. He
was a regular guest at the SF con we ran in college. I once heard about a Hal
con, where Hal was Guest of Honor, Fan Guest of Honor, and Artist Guest of
Honor (by different names, his real name is Harry Stubbs, I don't remember what
he did his art under).
