And Howard has moved from the thriving metropolis of Oso, Washington to Ft =
Worth, TX (Howard now has a phone, a sure sign of the apocalypse . . .)  =
He was one of my three GoHs at the 1995 WFC in Baltimore (the other two =
being Terry Bisson & Lucius Shepard).

Everything that Mark wrote above is true.  & he's a really nice guy.  And =
he'll be GoH at Readercon next month <www.readercon.org>.

Once we have a hotel & dates for the 2005 CapClave, then I can go chasing =
after a GoH.
