“Fandom is a wonderful thing. We used to live in Florida ten years ago. Across the street lived a lad two years older than yed who had the most wonderful collection of comic books...all of a stf nature. At the ripe old age of eight yed was swept to Georgia and the lad with the comics was never heard from. Since entering fandom we thought much of him and wondered if he were not a slan. This morning we learned that he is a member of NFFF and TFSC. Naturally we got a letter off to him.”
