ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

All work is copyright by the individual authors. Any unsigned work is probably by T.K.F. Weisskopf, comments in brackets [thus] definitely are. Portions of this zine have been previously published in fanzines or program booklets. In some cases the material has been substantially revised (either by T.K.F. Weisskopf or the author).

Art: Following long SFC tradtion of reusing artwork forever, note that the front cover art by D. Birdsong was first used in 1977. Cover altered and pasted up by the nimble fingers of Hank "Always There When I Need Him at the Last Minute" Davis. Much of the rest of the art I shoe-horned in is from convention badges & flyers. If I know or can give a good guess at the artist, I've done so on at the end of the zine; if not, not.

In 1988 Atlanta Worldcon Inc. gave a grant to the Service Mark Protection Committee of the WSFS--they earned their keep. Hence the following Service Mark Notice: "World Science Fiction Society," "WSFS," "World Science Fiction Convention," "Worldcon," "NASFiC" and "Hugo Award" are registered service marks of the World Science Fiction Society, an unincorporated literary society.

To join the SFC send $10 to Treasurer Judy Bemis at 1405 Waterwinds Ct., Wake Forest, NC, 27587. Club or convention membership is $50 annually. All checks should be payable to the Southern Fandom Confederation. Letters of comment can be sent to the editor, c/o Tom Feller, P.O. Box 13626, Jackson, MS 39236, or to Tom Feller via e-mail to: CCWS74A@prodigy.com. {Errata}
