FAN . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 I stood pondering the situation somebody rushed up the stair, fluttered past me, looking at me coldly as he fluttered and went into the apartment. This I later learned was Thompson. Eventually, I got into the place, and met the various inmates. Taurasi and Dockweiler impressed me as being the most amiable and human of the group. I didn't catch Wollheim's name at first, I thought it was something like Mendoza. Wollheim I didn't like at all. The only thing I recall of the meeting was a discussion of the coming convention in Philly. "How about going by car?" "Has anybody got a license?" Kyle has a license." "Hah! Would you drive in the same car with Kyle." Kyle sounded okay. The next meeting brought about Pohl who distinguished himself by drinking a concoction consisting of beer, one cigarette, mustard, sugar and a few things that happened to be kicking around on the delicatessen floor. Pohl was okay too. On the train to Philadelphia, I met Moskowitz who talked to me like a father all the way in, on the subject of fan magazines. The Third Eastern Science-Fiction Convention's big event was the now well known resolution with a preface, written by Johnny Michel and read by Wollheim. The vote, I believe, was eleven to eight against it. I voted against it. Sykore was very impressive. The winter that followed consisted mostly of hectographs, mimeos, stencils and dummies, which finally resulted in a forty page 4th issue of Cosmic Tales, a product of collaboration with Jim Taurasi and Thompson. (Science Fiction Fan sincerely regrets that due to an error on the part of the Associate Editor Part II was published ahead of Parts I and II).
