Did you know the Merril Collection holds a real Hugo Award?
Judith Merril began her own biography but didnโt finish it. Her granddaughter Emily Pohl-Weary completed Better to Have Loved: The Life of Judith Merril, which won the Hugo Award in 2003. She donated the Hugo to the Merril Collection! #sff

This was the story that introduced me to Judith Merril's work. Let's just say it made me think about Kissinger's MAD doctrine a bit differently.
