That's very cool indeed. I thought that he had died a number of years back. I fondly remember seeing him at a con in the early 1980s, when he reminisced about his days in the early 1950s as a struggling writer with a battered typewriter, eating dinner from dented cans.

Thanks for that. :)

That's impressive

Especially given that he's only got one working hand to type with.

First Pete Seeger at the pre-Inaugural yesterday, now this. Nice to see 89-yo guys still bringing it!

That is wonderful. Full disclosure: not least because it makes me feel younger.

Amazing, and wonderful news. I have to admit one of the highlights of my fannish life was back in the 80s when my mother and I gave him a ride to the airport. My overwhelming impression was that he was a gentleman, and I'm happy to see he's still around.

Why is his blog such a slow website?

I've been waiting for the first entry (apparently from his wife) to load for the past two minutes.
