Marvin Meets Bob May
(Babelcon 2007)
   It was a joy to meet Mr Bob May at the Babelcon.  I grew up watching "Lost in Space" and you can trace my own personal love for robots directly to "B-9".  What kid didn't want this ultimate friend?
  Mr May is also one of the most sincere people I've had the pleasure to meet.  The word "nice" is an understantement when describing him.   He gave a talk at the convention answering questions from what it was like to wear the robot suit to his favorite episode ("
The Mechanical Men" In season 2).  He had nothing but praises for the actors and actresses who played the family Robinson, and double praise for Dr Smith, played affectionally by the late
Jonathan Harris.
  Please visit Mr May's website to find out more about this wonderful human being, from his early days with his grandfather Chic Johnson of the Hellzapoppin Comedy team of Olsen & Johnson to his many appearances in commercials, movies
( 9 of them Jerry Lewis movies), Stage productions, USO shows (Is there anything he hasn't done?), the list goes on.
  Thank You Mr May for being B9, arguable the friendliest robot in the sci-fi genre even to this day!
