I con't think of a single red-blooded male who didn't call her "Undress", Vern. I know I did, er, still do, or whatever.

Whew, when I saw the subject, I was afraid we'd lost Ursula Andress who of course I pronounced Undress after seeing her coming out of the water in her bikini to the delight of James Bond. A beautiful body is a terrible thing to waste. Take care. Vern

My computer was killed by the power company so I've been without for a while, so what do you expect for my first post back, lol. Take care. Vern

She led a rich and full life. She will be remembered long after, well, almost any other SF writer. Up there with Verne, Welles, E.E. Smith, Heinlein, Asimov, and (dare I say) Gene Roddenberry (not really a writer but still historic), and, of course, the most unforgettable one of us-um, now, what was his name?

Rest in Peace, Ursula

On the news lately was the notice of the passing of one of Science Fictions greatest writers: Ursula K Le Guin. She was one of my favorites. I have a half-shelf in my library devoted to her books. The Earthsea series especially. Sad to hear of her passing. She was 88.
