Still a very right wing, somewhat overbearing NASA subcontractor manager running Clear Lake. He has been shut out of ApolloCon leadership roles for his lack of ability to work nicely with others. No book reviews in a very long while and then it was not usually just about books from the 60's. Anita does keeps posting repeats of articles she gets from the SF Book Club to the verbose and InnerLoop group lists. Most posts are connected to parties, activities, and meetings. The Houston Saturday SF Ritual Breakfast probably has more people only interested in SF from the 60's. Big Houston party the 17th at David Forbus's video warehouse loft. -- Gary Denton http://www.apollocon.org June 23-25, 2006 "hiccup, hiccup" Easter Lemming Liberal News Digest - http://elemming2.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
