Many moons ago I requested help from this newsgroup in re-discovering
the title, author, and anthology of a short story I had read when much
younger (approx. 15 years ago).  Imagine my disappointment when I 
received exactly ZERO replies!  No one remembered my story!  (So much
for advance thanks!  :-))

But, I have found it!  It has been re-released in a *new* collection
of short stories by Poul Anderson (I might have known he was the author)
entitled "Dialogue with Darkness".

The particular story I was looking for is titled "Sister Planet" and still
retains the haunting anguish I remembered so well.  This collection
credits "Satellite", May, 1959 which is apparently a magazine.  I did
NOT first read this in any magazine (certainly not in 1959! I hadn't
learned to read then) and will probably never know what anthology I
saw it in.

The collection "Dialogue with Darkness" is excellent.  I recommend it
to you all.  These are older stories, but only a few (like "Sister
Planet") have obvious discrepancies due to discoveries made since their
original publication.

And, no, I will not include any spoilers at all.  Read and enjoy!
