Mike, I went to the new Seattle Sci-Fi Museum last night and was delighted to see you (or rather, your likeness) there!
In the first section of the museum, there is this cool and fancy display called the "Science Fiction Hall of Fame". It is a slightly curved wall displaying an array of crystal blocks six inches square and about an inch thick, many of which are carved with the name and likeness of a Science Fiction great. The wall is backlit, giving it a very classy look. On the right end, at eye level, is a block dedicated to you! The engraving of your likeness is very good.
Unfortunately, for reasons they didn't care to explain, photography is not allowed inside the exhibits, so I'm afraid I do not have a picture for you to see.
But, for what it's worth, you're there among Mary Shelley, Fritz Leiber, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Frederik Pohl, Poul Anderson, AE von Vogt, Isaac Asimov, Heinlein, Le Guin, Verne, Wells, and on and on.
There is a blurb about you on their website (HERE) but they do not show the actual engraving. The photo shown is the photo they carved it from, however.
There is also a picture of the wall (HERE) but it is cut off such that your block is not visible.
So, you know, there's another reason to get your bearded self out here to Seattle! :D Thought you'd like to know you're there among the other Science Fiction gods.
