And Robin Johnson was the WSFA Journal's Australian agent, 34 years
ago.  Assuming it's the same guy, which seems likely.  And that it's
not the American actress of that name, who seems to have no stfnal
connections.

Are they?  All I see is:

  AussieCon4

  AussieCon4 Banner

  top bar
  Home Guests Membership Contacts Live journal left arch
  base bar

  top bar
  bottom

Is it just the site of a future web page?  If not, they must be doing
something massively incompatible and broken to look so empty under Lynx.

Last night I updated the appropriate Wikipedia page with the
information I found in the Denvention newsletters (which were edited
by WSFA's own Sam Lubell).

(Speaking of WSFA Journals, have they been discontinued, or the WSFA
website abandoned?  There's no June, July, or August issue, the
calendar of upcoming events hasn't been updated since December, and
the minutes of the latest meeting are from June -- of *last year*.)
