One of my fondest memories is a train journey I made with Terry Pratchett, Bob Shaw, and Iain Banks (sad to think that all three are now dead) from Warrington (where Bob and I both lived) to an "Eastercon" in Glasgow. Must have been in the mid 1980s, I think, when Terry had published a couple of books but wasn't yet really "famous". He was a truly delightful man.
