"SF fan Howard DeVore died yesterday, 31 December 2005, after a long
illness. With Donald Franson he compiled A History of the Hugo, Nebula,
and International Fantasy Awards in 1978; a later revision was a Related
Book Hugo Award nominee in 1999. He was scheduled to have been Guest of
Honor at L.A.con IV, the 2006 World SF Convention, to be held in August
2006 in Anaheim, California. "

PR 3 from L.A.con <http://laconiv.org/2006/pdf/laconiv-pr3.pdf> (which
is in the mail) has a nice piece about Big Hearted Howard by Roger Sims,
along with a piece by Howard about 5 fans going to the 1954 Worldcon.
