| First Contact |
Star Trek: Mom would come home and we would watch Star Trek (classic)
before she would start dinner. To this day original episodes make me hungry |
| First Author |
I really fell in love with the Genre with
Nancy Springer's
White Hart
it was the first time I remember reading something and going out and finding more
by the same author. It was a great pleasure getting to have dinner with her
at Name that Con in St. Louis. |
| First Convention |
Fool Con II in Kansas City about 1978? My mom and I had a great time
but we didn't realize there were others. I remember watching
Bambi vs Godzilla.

| First SF Club |
In college I hooked up with Galaxy Rangers
- the SF&F fan club at Northwestern, in fact that is where Pooch and I met. |
| Second Convetion |
My second convetion should have been Capricon 82 but thru some
serious miscommunications I was unable to attend - if you want details of
that fiasco ask Richard Sheaves. My actual second convention was
Capricon IV (was that 1983?) |
