Thanks.  Also thanks to Rich and Bob.  By comparing our WSFA
attendance data to that URL, and from other sources, here's the
semi-final list of past and present WSFAns at the Worldcon, which
I intend to publish in the next WSFA Journal:

Covert Beach, Sheri Bell, Sheryl Birkhead, Angela and Gerald
Blackwell, Kent Bloom, Elaine Brennan, Chris Callahan, Steven Chalker,
Art "Boots" Coleman, Scott Dennis, Jim and Terilee Edwards-Hewitt,
Erica Ginter, Marc Gordon, Paul Haggerty, Jack Heneghen, Tracy Henry,
Scott Hofmann, Bill Jensen, Judy Kindell, Elspeth Kovar, Perrianne
Lurie, Brad Lyau, Nicki and Richard Lynch, Bob MacIntosh, Winton
Matthews, Mary Morman, Michael Nelson, Barry, Judy, and Meridel
Newton, Elaine Normandy, Kathi Overton, Aly and Paul Parsons, Sam
Pierce, John Pomeranz, Dick Roepke, Kathy and Leo Sands, John and
Peggy Rae Sapienza, Tom Schaad, Judy and Sam Scheiner, T.R. Smith,
Victoria Smith, Erwin "Filthy Pierre" Strauss, Gayle Surrette, Michael
Walsh, Eva Whitley, Martin Morse Wooster, and Beth and Mike Zipser.

Please tell me if any of those people were not at the Worldcon, or
were never WSFA members.  (I only have WSFA attendance data, not
membership status.)  Also please tell me if I missed anyone.

Of course just because someone had an attending membership doesn't
mean they were there.  I had one, I show up at that URL, and I'm
pretty sure I wasn't there.  And just because someone isn't on that
list doesn't mean they weren't there.  Some people bought second-hand
or at-the-door memberships.

I'm especially curious about Erica Ginter and Perrianne Lurie, as
nobody has mentioned seeing them there, and I would think they would
have.

Has anyone heard from Erica?  She hasn't been to a meeting in three
months, and hasn't posted here in even longer.  I hope she's ok.
