<strong><font size="2">If you haven't already, order a copy of <em>The Twilight Zone Companion</em>, by Marc Scott Zecree. Orginally published in the early '80s he has updated it. He is an occasional guest of George Noory's on <em>Coast to Coast AM</em>. Rod Serling's widow Carole gave Zecree the keys to the kingdom for his research.&nbsp;If you're a <em>Zone</em> fan then you must have this book!</font></strong> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I fledged&nbsp;during the 50's&nbsp;on Azimov's Lucky Starr series & by 16 I was reading every scifi I could lay my hands on. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
