Gardner Film Editor: David Kishi "A Cosmic Publication" EDITORIAL ESFA IS ONE YEAR OLD by James V. Taurasi editor of Fantasy-Times The Eastern Science Fiction Association will celebrate their First Anniversary with their April meeting, today. This club meeting in Newark, New Jersey has become in one year one of the largest local stf organization in the United States. Starting out with few members, it now has over 40, including some of the best known fans in the East. It has done some very excellent work the past year. It obtained over 30 members for the Philcon Society, to help the coming conventions and numerous good write-ups in the Newark papers. Many well-known authors and editors have attended their meetings and found them enjoyable as well as instructive. Fantasy-Times extends good wishes and many happy returns of the day. On Fans & Fandom The three co-editors of Fantasy-Times, James V. Taurasi, Sam Moskowitz and Ray Van Houten, will meet for the first time in four years, today, at the Eastern Science Fiction Association meeting. The last time they were able to get together was in the Summer of 1943. Then, Moskowitz was a Private in the Tank Destroyers, Van Houten was a Sgt in the Army-Transportation Corps., and about to go overseas, while Taurasi was a Cpl. in the Army Engineers and editing two Army magazines. They met at Ft. Hamilton in Brooklyn, New York. In 1994, Taurasi went overseas and left Fantasy-Times in the hands of Moskowitz, who had been discharged from the Army. As luck would have it, Van Houten and Taurasi met again in 1945, when they discovered that they were stationed in the same building. They published the Continental Edition of Fantasy-Times, in Le Harve, France, weekly for over four months. Taurasi left France in November of 1945, leaving Van Houten about to get out of the Army, but to remain overseas as a Civilian employee of the US Army. Ray Van Houten married Betty Alline in Cardiff, South Wales, on October 21, 1946, and spend a honeymoon in Paris, France. Now Ray Van Houten has returned to the US and the three fans will meet for the first time in four years, together, at the ESFA meeting. A Wedding Announcement arrived from Germany, this week, announcing the marriage of Gordon Merlin Kull, co-editor of the new printed fan magazine, Vortex, to Eva Marie Weiss, formerly of Danzig. The pair are to arrive in New York sometime in June. They plan to drive to San Francisco by Jeep and visit fans and fan clubs on the way. It will be sort of a Vortex "good will tour". They will take in meetings of the ESFA and PSFS, if possible. ADVERTISE IN FANTASY-TIMES $1.00 A PAGE
