Today, Saturday the 27th, is officially Will F. Jenkins day here
in Virginia.  Will F. Jenkins is better known by his pen name,
Murray Leinster.

See http://www.richmondsunlight.com/bill/2009/hj755/fulltext/

He was Disclave's guest of honor in 1970.

So, whether you're in the Old Dominion or not, go re-read "First
Contact" (a story that gave its name to a genre), "Sidewise in Time"
(one of the first stories of travel between alternate histories), "A
Logic Named Joe" (the 1946 story that predicted the Internet), or one
of his many other fine works today.
