At first I was not sure how I was going to read his stories. Then I saw some at the scifi.com archives http://www.scifi.com/scifiction/archive.html I just was looking at his short story bibliography at http://www.sff.net/people/Waldrop/short.htm and noticed that I have quite a few of the magazines his stories appeared in and probably read soem of them at the time. I am going to hunt in my storage areas to trying to find those to (re)read them. Capclave in general has got me reading more short fiction. Before William Tenn's appearance I bought the two giant volumes of his work. In between each novel I read, I have been reading a bunch of short stories - of late my list has included one each of William Tenn, Howard Waldrop, PG Wodehouse, and Neil Gaiman. I have a few other short story collections that I bought at past Capclaves or Disclaves that I'll probably cycle in later. Anyway, I just thought you might like to know. Thanks, Neil
