Honest Intellectual Inquiry:

The History of TusCon

    It all started one night in the summer of 1974 when Jim Corrick and I were sitting on the front steps of the house of our friend Nancy Mairs after a science fiction meeting (I remember the sky looking something like this background). We decided that Tucson should have a Science Fiction convention, and simultaneously came up with the name "TusCon." After that, it was 'merely' a matter of getting it all arranged, pooling our paltry resources to finance it, and voila, TusCon was born.
    For several years I have been threatening promising to put together a page on the history of TusCon. And here it is, with many thanks to Brian Gross, Jim Corrick, Wolf Forrest, Trini Ruiz, and Gloria McMillan....
