I've met Varley, and found him a thoroughly delightful
man.  I hadn't liked his work until I met him, but
I couldn't stand liking him so much and not liking
his books, so I made myself read them until I
liked them.  The other thing about Varley that
is so nice is that he often comes complete with
Anette (sp?) McKonnal (sp?), one of the most
delightful individuals it has ever been my pleasure to meet.
