PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Dear NFFFers: The Pacificon has come and gone. At this writing I have nothing but conflicting reports and rumors to go on so I'm going to reserve my judgement and not make a statement until I have more facts at hand. I would like to thank those of you who took the time to write me and expressed your thoughts on NFFF business. I appreciate your interest. Your ideas were and will be most helpful. One thing I would like to point out though is that all we had to go on was rumors and gossip. Such information is of dubious value and it is not well to convict anyone, even in one's own mind, without definite facts to support such an opinion. I understand that everything was aired at the Pacificon and decisions were reached. I do not have a full report on them so will make no comments. A fact that I definitely do know is: the Fantasy Foundation was formed at the convention and it is not the organization to which I had reference when speaking of the organization which desired to "break" the NFFF. The Fantasy Foundation has been the dream of Forrest J. Ackerman for many years. He has built his collections toward that end. He has willed those collections and a large insurance policy to the end that the Fantasy Foundation will succeed. The NFFF archives, with Forrest J. Ackerman in charge, are located in the Fantasy Foundation. The organization is worthy of every NFFF member and stfans support. I have written Ackerman, as your President, offering our best wishes and our full cooperation in the Foundation. Word has been received from Mary Gnaedinger that an ad will be in the October issue of Famous Fantastic Mysteries advertising the reprint edition of the First Finlay Portfolio and the NFFF. It will be on the stands in August. The Portfolio has been delayed by my emergency order which froze the treasury, but during that time two new litho companies have asked for data so that they may bid on the job. Meanwhile orders are being received and approximately one fourth of the estimated cost has already been subscribed or pledged. Get your order in now. The other projects are progressing as well as could be expected. Our official editor has informed me of his plans to attend college in the fall, at which time he will be unable to devote enough time to putting out a high quality official organ, so a volunteer to fill the official editorship for October, November and December is being sought. Volunteers please write to me. 1
