   "As a youth," said the ghod as he shook his grey head, / "I feared it the BNF's grave; / But now that the neos all think that I'm dead, / I continue the fanac I crave."

   1966 November, Cindy Heap, “"You Are Old, Father Tucker..."”, in Science-Fiction Five-Yearly, number 4, page 33

   I have not posted here before, but I have been in fandom before a long phase of gafia, and have read many books during my active times. I was a SMOF in the past, but not a super-Smof, and had my favorite authors. Harlan Ellison was like a ghod to me, and the lesser lights were those around me and some not what others may expect.
