Arthur and I on his 80th Birthday and my first visit.

Arthur
My eyes still fill with tears when I see your photo. To this day I see some thing or other, and think "Arthur would love to see that, I'll send it to him". But alas I cannot. You were always such a gracious and tolerant host, I'll never forget our times together.

Sir Arthur on his birthday

There is a new book out by Neil McAleer called Odyssey of Sir Arthur C Clarke. It is a great read and fills in some of Arthur's life with details we were not aware of...excellent book.

A fine Man, the last of the Big Three Science Fiction Writers. A True Visionary. Will miss him.

Such foresight..
A great loss.

For Arthur...Even in death he would not compromise his vision.

The famed science fiction writer, who once denigrated religion as "a necessary evil in the childhood of our particular species," left written instructions that his funeral be completely secular, according to his aides.

"Absolutely no religious rites of any kind, relating to any religious faith, should be associated with my funeral," he wrote.
