Part 1 of 11: Conversations with George Clayton Johnson and Lola Johnson

Part 1 of 11: Conversations with George Clayton Johnson (writer: Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Logan's Run , Ocean's 11, Kung Fu) and Lola Johnson. Videotaped July 19, 1997 (during Comic-Con) at the San Diego home of Roy L. Dobbs, Jr. Featuring the off-camera voices of Shel Dorf and Ken Krueger. Some of this part's highlights: George first encountered fandom as a guest of Charles Beaumont at a science fiction convention in 1958 at the Alexandria Hotel where Richard Matheson was guest of honor. [That was the World Science Fiction Convention hosted by South Gate, California.] Science fiction is the literature of the age; the world has become science fiction. Fandom is The Church of Science Fiction. It was because of Ray Bradbury that George believed it was possible for him to be a writer. Lola Johnson's essential support while George was getting established as a professional writer. (Visit http://www.ComicConMemories.com.)
