For those who hadn't heard...

D.C. area fan Paul Parsons died of a heart attack while driving in
Pennsylvania on Sunday May 18.  Paul was a lead organizer of Unicon,
a Maryland convention held in the 1970s and 80s, managed programming
at the 2003 World Fantasy Con, and was central in the Potomac River
Science Fiction Society, which has been meeting for over thirty years.
He is survived by his wife, Aly Parsons, also an active fan.

Paul struck me as one of the wisest fans I know, and he read and
retained more written SF than anyone.

There will be a memorial gathering at Balticon at 10AM Saturday
(tomorrow) in the Garden Room.
