dewline: greyscale self-portrait (black and white)
Several of my friends and acquaintances met him over the years in person, corresponded with him off and on over the years. If he was at San Diego in 1993, I might've stood a chance of meeting him as well. If I did, then I wish that I could remember him with the same certainty as I do meeting Tony Isabella and Bob Ingersoll that year in that town. Memory is a trickier beast than I'd like it to be some days. If I've forgotten, then I owe apologies to at least one, perhaps more.

The one other thing I remember him for is this, and it speaks volumes of both him and one other I respect:

Roy Thomas thought enough of him to name what was then an Earth-2 city for him: Bails City, Utah. Go back and check the first year's worth of Infinity Inc. and you'll find it. That fight between Nuklon-as-was, Albert Rothstein, and the Koehaha-maddened-as-was Golden Age Atom, Al Pratt. One man trying to save his godfather and a city besides from the schemes of another.

Ave atque vale, Dr. Bails.
