Companionship Quote by Robert Reed
![“I'm the only member of SFWA in Nebraska, but I don't pine away for the companionship of other science fiction writers. I [go] to very few conventions. I'm quite willing to be that eccentric who has a very odd job, quite happy to be the only science fiction writer in town.” quote by Robert Reed](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4f8/robert-reed-23290_companionship_i-m-the-only-member-of-sfwa-in-nebraska_2634545.jpg)
