KenToad:
Our family was proud to have known Vonnegut through my Grandfather, who met Vonnegut as Vonnegut was seeking an abstract artist to play a minor role in the novel Deadeye Dick. I don't know why he wanted "real" characters to appear in his novels. Anyway, my grandfather, Cliff McCarthy, is very briefly mentioned in both that novel and in Timequake as one of the guests at the clambake. Vonnegut was kind enough to call when Cliff passed away two years ago.
The old masters are passing, I guess.

Ouch......what a shame. I grew up on Kilgore Trout books....

One of my favorite movie scenes ever:
teacher: "Thornton, I don't know who did your work, but whoever wrote that report doesn't know the first thing about Kurt Vonnegut."
...
Thornton: (into the phone) "And another thing, Vonnegut, I'm stopping the payment on that check!"
