Speaking of the San Diego Con: One theme this year is to look back on 40 years of that convention. It's changed names and nature a number of times but this year is the fortieth one and I am among a teensy handful of folks who can say they've attended every one.
Many people were involved in the founding of that convention but I want to mention two: Mike Towry and Richard Alf. Why am I mentioning them? Because we're trying to find them. If you know or are the Mike Towry or Richard Alf who helped launch the con, please drop me a note.
