Sorry about missing the meeting last night.  I think I'm still catching
up with Worldcon exhaustion and jet lag.  And the icky weather sort of
put the icing on the cake, as it were.  But I really did want to go, if
for no other reason to make this announcement:

Just to make a few folks feel their age (or youth...) I will note that
Saturday evening, 25 years ago, Jack Chalker & I were with a small group
of people counting the site selection ballots at Denvention II for the
1983 Worldcon site.

Which does lead to...

In 1974 I attended my first Worldcon.

The first convention I attended was Discalve 1969

The first Worldcon I was a member of was NyCon 3 (thanks Ted...)

"There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all "

Requiescat in pace
