I felt exactly the same. The fictional character I most indentified with is Douglas Spaulding from Ray Bradbury's DANDELION WINE. I remember reading and wondering if Bradbury somehow knew me and basesd Douglas on me. Then I read further and discovered that Douglas Spauling is actually Bradbury himself. I wish I could have met Ray and talked with him, but it was not to be.
