D'oh!  I of course meant Datclave III.

So what was the official final attendance number for Datclave II?  I
can think of 39 (I remembered two more since yesterday).  If nobody
objects, I will post all 39 names here, and others can say who, if
anyone, I forgot.  The final debugged list will be useful to refer
to during Datclave III.

Datclave I wasn't WSFA's only previous relaxacon.  February relaxacons
were kept going for several years:

Datclave                  1980 Kent Bloom, Crystal City
Datclone                  1981 Jack/Eva, Sheraton in Gettysburg
Capicon 60                1982 HoJo near Baltimore
D'Udderclave              1983 Jul Owings
Bobclave/George The Party 1984 York Valley Inn, York PA
No-Name-Con               1985 Lee Smoire, HoJo near Baltimore

"Capicon 60" was the name of a proposed 1960 Worldcon.  Since
stationery was left over, the name was recycled for the relaxacon
22 years later.  And 22 years after *that*, I put directions to
the con online.

There could have been a Datclave 0 in 1952, but since meetings were
then held on Sundays, fifth Fridays had no significance.

There was a fifth Sunday in February in 1948.  I no longer have access
to the archives to know whether the club did anything special that day.
