Retro Hugos . . .
For novel: "West of the Sun" by Edgar Pangborn, reprinted by moi.  Check =
out Don D'Amassa's piece in in  "Introduction to the Retro Hugo Awards for =
1953" <www.noreascon.org/files/Retropub.pdf>

1953 was a very good year . . .

The other way to get a shiny rocket is to chair a Worldcon and get one of =
