Aah.. Mr Haldeman. Last met him briefly (plus his good lady) at Glasgow Worldcon.. A delightful couple and congrats to him.. Oh yes and as stated, there are already TWO annual Arthur C Clarke Awards, both issued in the UK.. One is the “Clarke” for SF etc and the other (sometimes known as the “Arthur”, to distinguish it from the former) is given by the British Interplanetary Society (BIS). Best wishes
Congrats to Joe and all, but seriously, there are a lot of great authors who don’t have multiple awards already named after them. And some of them don’t have skeletons rattling their closets.
Congratulations Joe!
