fanfare 5 DOTS AS THE MEETING BROKE UP, Art Widner, shyly standing by the only exit with a baseball bat in one hand, and a meat cleaver in the other, blushingly accepted a third term as Director of THE STRANGER CLUB. ON LABOR DAY, [Snoggisbood Frandlo?] and Horky Tungleflurd, better known, perhaps, as Scott Feldman and Hyman Tiger, paid a visit to Boston, towing Walter Lincoff with a large rope. Widner was on hand to welcome the three Brooklynites and chauffeur them around town. Thru a strange quirk of fate, Widner was actually on hand at the bustation on time. They had phone him a telegram, and Art thot the operator had said 7, instead of 11 AM. They also said in the message which hotel to come to if he couldn't make it at that time. He arrived in Boston at ten AM, went to the hotel - nobody ever heard of them. He tried the YMCA hotel. No soap. Back to the other in case they had arrived in the meantime. Nope. Deep thought. Hmmm. Could they still be at the bustation all this time? Could be. Downtown, and an enchanting game of "Parking Space, Parking Space, Who's Got the Parking Space?" The bustation. There they are, very chipper for standing four hours. Enthusiastic greeting. "Ah, good old Widner--right on time." Gulp. Heheh. Yes, of course.... The afternoon was spent slopping around Scollay Square and points west, snooping in old bookshops and places, driving the clerks wacky with choice bits of double talk and requests for THE NECRONOMICON, BOOK OF EIBON, etc. Parted in a flurry of picture-taking, double-talk, and promises to attend BOSKONE II. See that you do, boys, see that you do. .....MEMBER CHAUVENET is building a fifteen-foot sailboat, and completing a book on chess. After that he plans to turn his hand to steady stf writing, with hopes of financing a bigger boat. *** Widner was recently overjoyed to get a check from WEIRD TALES for a story of his accepted by Farnsworth Wright well over two years ago. *** Bob Swisher is getting far behind in his long established policy of reading evert stf mag on the market.
