Back in 1970 I was a freshman at Univ. of Kansas and thought I’d be a writer of some sort so I took English and writing classes, including the Science Fiction class taught by James Gunn, author of several sci fi novels and other works. I learned a lot from Prof. Gunn, and still have some short stories I wrote that have actual praise (not to mention the criticisms) from him in the margins. But, ultimately, my career went a different direction, although, as I think about it, it involves an awful lot of writing. As time went by my kids grew up and went to college about the time the www was starting to get noticed, and I developed an interest in making websites. I found a great web editor called Web-O-Rama. Lo and behold, turned out it was written by Prof. Gunn’s kid, Kevin Gunn. More time went by and along came the likes of MySpace and FaceBook and LinkedIn. While goofing around on FaceBook one day I came across, yes, Kevin Gunn! He’s now devoting his efforts to his real passion, music. Be sure to check him out at Kevin Gunn and the Weathervanes. Kevin has me thinking again about my back-burnered passion, writing.
