I can identify two others: Robert Madle at Suncon (1977) and George
Scithers at MillPhil (2001).  Madle was a regular at WSFA meetings in
the late '50s and still lives in the area.  I believe George was a WSFAn
during the early '60s, since he chaired Discon I (1963).  (And, as Eva
knows, I was FGoH in 1985.)
