Thanks, I know about Ken Kesey he is local to Eugene where I live.
They celebrate him and have parks in his honor etc...

I grew up with Kurt Vonnegut (his books, not the acutal man) during the 60s and 70s. I loved his iconoclastic temperament and style. I think I'll re-read some of his novels in remembrance. Maybe Slaughterhouse Five or Cat's Cradle.
