I met Ray Bradbury the day before this was shot at World Con in Atlanta in 1986. I was part of the video crew chronicling the event, and I am so glad I said yes to the offer to join that team - meeting Ray changed my life. His words I knew already, but it was here that I began to know him as a man, a human, and eventually a friend.
