Sir, I don't know you, but must congratulate you on two accomplishments.
First, you're in a photograph along with Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. To me, the amazing thing about the photo is that the later two are sitting next to each other,
and actually still smiling!
Second, I'd like to congratulate you on being removed from a position by the Coast Con governing committee. I don't know what you did, but you must have been a bad, bad boy. I was a yearly con attendee from '81 until about '95 (ya know, the Con's heyday), and was an active general member and a perennial game master from the late '80s to '95. I recall spending many a Sunday afternoon (last Con day) in frustration at the antics going on at the general membership meetings. I took a 10 year break from the Con until 2005, and when I returned to it that year, I was shocked at how tiny it had become. I don't have to guess how that happened. I skipped '06 (the first post-Katrina) and returned in '07 and plan on attending this year. These days, I'm "just" an attendee. Hopefully, I'll see some of the gamers here, there.
regards,
Rob
