50 years ago next month?

Gee . . . I've only been going to WSFA since late-1968 beginning with
the meetings in DC (yes, WSFA actually use to meet in Washington DC!) at
Chez Gilliland, 2126 Pennsylvania Ave, on the second floor.

Across the street was Moonstone Book Cellar, a small SF shop remarkably
filled with books.  In those days, before superstores and Amazon, it
wasn't as easy getting one's fix.
