[Vision2020] Ray Bradbury

[Carl Westberg]

He was one of the very best wordsmiths ever.  One interesting tidbit from his obituary:  He was so poor during the early writing years that he did not own a typewriter.  The UCLA library rented typewriters for 10 cents per half hour.  He said he brought a sack of dimes to the library and wrote "Fahrenheit 451" in 9 days, spending $9.80.  In honor of the start of summer, it's time for me to read "Dandelion Wine" for about the sixth time.
