4 The Fantasy Amateur D. This mailing may cause some confusion, but the following should straighten everything out: 1. The Secretary-Treasurer, A.L. Schwartz, is now living in New York City, at 21 Grove Street. However, his records are still in Boston. At any rate, the membership list remains as it did in September, with two changes. Although we are considering this a post-mailing from the standpoint of dues and contributions Barbara Edge and Paul Freehafer are no longer members, either through definite disinterest or death. Their places are being taken by the two members whose names headed the waiting-list last time, and they will receive this mailing. 2. For the sake of the records, this is a special mailing, and has a number of its own. It is the 30th mailing, and this is Volume 8, Number 2 of THE FANTASY AMATEUR. There will be five FAs in this (slightly elongated) FAPA year. I said I'd be the best OE ever! III. Laney and Ackerman will, no doubt, vote No on the amendment they are helping to sponsor, since it comes "entirely without notice to the membership" and will be "an undiscussed, spur-of-the-moment election." However, I join with our President in urging the rest of you to vote Yes. It's a darned good idea. IV. The constitution is being followed, for once, in the present balloting, and ballots will not be sent to non-active members, there being about five such. By special order of the President, ballots will not be sent to overseas members, either. Obviously, there is no time for them to return their ballots; I don't belive any of them ever even try. V. Ignore the Brooklyn address in the masthead, please. Ye OE is moving. I am to share an apartment in Greenwich Village with none other than John Blythe Michel. The address, of course, is 313 West 4th Street, New York City. I glee. The place has not been formally christened yet, but it'll probably be Station X. VI. For the first time in several years, we now have three of the four FAPA officers in New York City at the same time. Now, if Ashley hadn't had to move to California.... VII. Complete critics' reports on the September and November mailings and all in-between stuff will be contained in the January FA. Whether they'll be in the form of laureates or regular reviews is more than I can say. VIII. For those of you who insist on classifying separately mailed mages as pre- or post-mailing, I suggest that you consider all the in-between stuff this time as part of this special mailing. That is, as pre-mailings to this mailing. Or something. It all seems tremendously unimportant to me, but I just happened to think of it and thought I'd pass it on. IX. Thank you, Doc and Johnny, for helping to produce this issue. X. Merry Xmas to all, and to all a good night.... Larry T. Shaw
