Well, "Del Rey" was the imprint that Ballantine Books sold Sci-Fi/Fantasy
under starting in 1977 (this included Star Wars, as I recall). It looks
like it now belongs to Random House. From their website (couldn't totally
remember the Ballantine name so had to look it up), "It was begun by
editor Judy-Lynn del Rey with editoria assistance of her husband, author and
editor Lester del Rey". Are they the same person?

I noticed on the page he also wrote under the
psuedonym of Lester Del Rey.
For some reason that tweaks my old sci-fi memory, but can't identify it.
As well as his impressive contribution to electronics did he also write sci-fi ?

I saw this in comp.os.cpm, but didn't see it here, so for those who don't
read that group, Les Solomon passed away this weekend at the age of 80.
More details from Stan Veit on http://www.imsai.net/ ...
I did not know Les, but he definitely led an interesting life, and I know he was
well-respected and cared about ...
:-(
