I remember Omni well. In fact, I remember when it was a gleam in Bob’s eye and a series of boards at his and Kathy’s house and at their, yes, Penthouse in London. Indeed, I remember it when it was NOVA and why that didn’t happen. I even remember, I think, saying to Bob and Kathy that Bova would be an excellent choice for editor. I remember being in on the discussions and plans for the first issue and I remember being the publisher of that issue in England at the same time we published the first issue in the US. Yes indeed I remember it all.
BTW, Bob did not die in the house. He died elsewhere far far away.
