[Leica] No Leica content, I am a Hugo Finalist!

[Douglas Barry]

Richard, I seem to have heard of Silverberg, but looking at his 
bibliography, the bells remain silent. Also, I never bought a sci-fi 
book myself, but had a friend who was an avid fan of them with shelves 
full. I always returned them to him after reading them. I did buy books, 
but never sci-fi ones.

That said,  you have to remember that I am in my 70s, and remembering is 
a challenge. My mornings tend to start with looking at a strange man in 
my bathroom mirror. I ask him "Are you Douglas?" and he does the same to 
me - simultaneously...
