After AussieCon Two: Marc Ortlieb's living room, or lounge as they called it. Lise Eisenberg on left, Marty Cantor standing, Bob Shaw. Sitting: Charlotte Proctor, Linda Lounsbury (a co-DUFF winner) and her husband Phil Martin sitting on the couch and Robbie Cantor. These are the people who stayed at the Ortlieb Fan Hotel for anywhere from two or three days to a couple of weeks.

I met Roger Weddall, editor of THYME, with whom I had corresponded as editor of ANVIL. In 1992, Roger visited us in Birmingham, Alabama. RIP

And they made us eat Australian junk food. After a train ride through a park/zoo, we dined on meat pies, or pasties.
