I got to be friends with Milton Lesser/Stephen Marlowe. We were talking one night and I told him that I must have read sixty or seventy stories of his in Imagination and ImaginatIve Tales as well as Amazing and Fantastic. He said he'd traveled a lot and hadn't kept any of them. We were good friends but somehow that disappointed me. So I sent him a bunch of dupes I had. He called and said he really enjoyed seeing them again.
I finally met him and got my picture taken with him at the Bouchercon in Monterey. I loved reading those stories in the digests in the '50s, and I was a fan of Chester Drum later on. Then he went on to write some very good hardcover thrillers and even some well-reviewed literary novels. I even read those.

I forgot--I loved the Chester Drum books, too. They were literate, quirky and in a voice of Stephen's own.
