And I'd just started getting into Sturgeon, too. I'd only just discovered the prozines. "The Touch of Their Eyes" was in the third prozine I ever bought, the September 1980 Analog.

After all--classical music and Geary was still a professional Trumpeter then. You're right that you and I met at CollegeCon in February, I believe, before either of our first stories came out. I was impressed 'cause you had all the patter about markets and submission response times and so on. I don't remember what your submission history was at that point. (But it was obviously more extensive than mine.) We were both working on typewriters then. Gack.

If not for him, you and I wouldn't know each other. Excellent story, as I remember it. If I remember correctly, this is the story that got Geary Rachel to get in contact with you.

The story is full of painful stuff--it's overly ornate and as I read it I kept having to keep myself from rewriting on the fly. And I hate my voice. You were seventeen or so, if I remember, when you read it--maybe even younger. It is a classic teen alienation story. Oh, God, I remember that!

I'm going to download this and listen to it the next time in the office. That story blew me away, as you probably remember. I'm pretty sure it's the first fan letter I ever wrote, and meeting you in Denver and getting to tell you how much I enjoyed the story -- after entirely randomly sitting next to you and realizing who you were from your conversation -- was the highlight of the convention for me. Cheers! Neat! I’m going to download this and listen to it the next time in the office.
