My favorite Willy Ley story comes from Isaac Asimov's autobiography, in which Asimov tells of an early science fiction convention attended by, among others, Willy Ley. Willy was in fine form, apparently, entrancing the ladies with his charming, thick German accent and his boundless energy when it came to putting words to his visions of space exploration. He was so impressive to the ladies, apparently, that on Sunday morning, the running joke around the convention was that if you posed Willy's name as a question -- "Willy Ley?" -- the answer was an obvious and resounding "yes."
