So tonight as the weekly meeting of my writers group, The Vicious Circle
(so-named by Charles Sheffield decades ago), Richard Moore noticed the
printed copy of Alexis's open letter sitting on my table, and we fell to
discussing recent events.  By way of explaining them, I told him about
Keith Googling Lee in 2002 and what he turned up.

"Mighod," said Richard, who is both a SF and mystery fan, but more of a
mystery fan, "I remember this woman who turned up *years* ago at a
Bouchercon, claiming to be Fredric Brown's daughter!"  He began
describing her to me.  It was Lee -- then Lee Uba.  "I don't think
anybody believed her," he said.  "It was just a story."

And maybe a story that embarrassed her by 2002, when Keith turned it up
on Rich's on-line fanhistory Outline.
