Subject: [WSFA] Letter from Jack Williamson
Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at KeithLynch.net>

I recently read _Perfectly Normal Deviations_.  This is a book of
letters to and from the physicist Richard Feynman.  One of the letters
was from WSFA's 2003 World Fantasy Con's absentee guest of honor, Jack
Williamson.  He had an unusual idea about physics.  Feynman's very
polite reply is also included.

And no, it wasn't because Feynman was always polite.  He occasionally
told people to "go to hell."

he editor, Michelle Feynman, said that at the time of those letters
(1949) Williamson was in the early stages of his writing career.
Actually, he had been a published author for over 20 years at
that point.
