LOL!!! I know I never read any "people of" books and I have no clue who Gear's wife is.

I know of Gear as a good science fiction author and I know I read several by him. But the 80's were too long ago and I've read too many, so I don't remember just what of his I read.

I've never outgrown Heinlein, Niven, Clarke,...but most of the authors names now elude me until someone mentions one and I go "oh yeah...", which is what happened when you replied.

Thanks for poking the old remembory,
Rick
