Happiest of Birthdays!

Happy Birthday!
I’m watching news coverage about traffic problems on I-5 caused by folks driving to get to malls in time for the big sales. Last year a temporary clerk got trampled to death by bargain hunters.
I’d rather remember the day as Frederik Pohl’s birthday than as insane shopping day.

“Find me fun” nearly will rhyme
With ninety one every time,
To find fun I look
For a far-seeing book
By Fred Pohl–whose age is a prime
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Fred.
I’ve just finished reading Gateway for the first time, so thank *you* for giving me a present on your birthday.

Yes, everyone loves Sesame Street…but isn’t it possible Mr. Pohl hoped for a musical tribute more along the lines of the one offered to Ray Bradbury not too long ago? I do think he’s earned it.
Anyway, hope it was a great one. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done!

Congratulations Fred, you have brought a lot of joy to my life with your writing. And, as I start to get older myself, a lot of hope for the future. I only hope I am as with- it and contribute as much as I do when I reach into my 90s
Thank You

November 27, 2010, 5:54 amI was thrilled to see you in KC in 2007, to hear you talk and to get a signed book from you. You brought us so many great SF stories, as an author as well as an editor – and now this blog… We can’t be grateful enough !

Very best wishes, Mr. Pohl. I discovered you many years ago as the author of fine, thoughtful science fiction. As I’ve followed your career and life over these past 30 years, I’ve come to respect you as a decent, thoughtful man, whose personal ethos has permeated his art in sublime ways. I can’t tell you how your words have affected me: I only know that they have. And as such, I can only say, ‘thank you.’
November 27, 2010, 2:13 pmHappy birthday!
