:I shook hands with Jack one time during a book signing (Lyonesse) at a now defunct sci-fi store in Santa Monica.
I was there; the skinny guy near the back of the line. The store was Change Of Hobbit. I remember it fairly vividly: I had asked Vance a question about an inconsistency in Lyonesse (something about why Suldrun didn't escape using the mirror), and he replied he hadn't thought of that! I was so embarrased.
That was my first meeting with him, and he didn't look anything like I expected. He looked to me like a longshoreman, which as it happens, was not far off the mark.
