Not quite right.  At the climax of "Second Stage Lensmen", when Gharlane
is about to attack Kim, Gharlane demands:

"Just when did you leave Eddore?"

Sam Moskowitz later won eternal 15-minute glory by figuring out that
"Eddore", a word which had not occured anywhere else to that point,
was going to prove to be the Boskonian parallel to Arisia.

Nowadays, of course, both are NESFA activities.
