loc on SFinSF #131
Hello, Espana, and the rest of you Bayreans!
Congratulations on your seven year milestone. Amazing, isn't it, how quickly the time zips by when you're having fun. Naturally, that is one of the big attractions of being a science fiction fan: there are so many fun things to do within fandom that it's hard to focus on just one or two or three items. But that's alright by me. Eventually we settle on those activities which give us the most pleasure, and there are so many people in fandom that we're guaranteed to not be alone. Doing fanzines is one corner of the fannish universe, and I'm glad you've become active in it, Espana, and enjoying it.
That is a very nice piece of art by Jose Sanchez on page 4. He has done a cover for Askance and other interior pieces, as well. He has definitely progressed as a good artist.
Once again, lots of activities you're reporting in here, with the usual fine photographs accompanying them.
Well, I might as well say it here, too: Happy 30th Anniversary, Lloyd and Yvonne Penney! Keep it going, newlyweds. This coming November will be our 23rd, so we're gaining on you.
And that does it for now. A brief loc, but that's okay. As a fan editor myself, I appreciate getting responses, no matter how long they are. It is always good to hear from people. Keep the zine fires burning.
All the best,
John Purcell
