I still would like to see one last anthology that covered all his unpublished stories and small-press only material.

*sigh*

And of course when I said "unpublished" I meant "uncollected," because I have no idea if there were any "unpublished" stories left when he passed.

Oh yes, I'm sure there were plenty, and then of course were all those stories of his earliest works that he didn't like and destroyed because they didn't meet his standards. I always wondered what was in THAT collection.

I'm sure they know this but you should have heard how much Mike loved those folks listed above. As far as he was concerned these folks hung the moon. I wish I could be at this panel, I wonder if someone would record it and put a webcast of it up?

I'm glad you like the lineup. As it stands, I'm not sure if I can be at the panel - though I'm trying to fix that - and so can't promise to do any recording myself. I'll ask the con committee whether there will be any officially-made recording.
