    CONTACTING THE WORLDS OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS ERB “AUTO-BIOGRAPHY” ENVELOPE The Gridley Wave #331 (April 2010) reported an unknown variant edition of ERB’s “An Auto-Biography,” published in 1916 by the Republic Motor Truck Co, Inc. Characterized as a possible “trade” edition, it was bound in illustrated card board covers. Bibliophiles member Joe Lukes reported to George McWhorter in late May that he had just purchased a mint copy of this variant, which arrived in a still- unopened envelope originally created as the mailer for the book. Joe provided these imag es of this unique envelope featuring the special artwork. In Memoriam Illustrator Al Williamson (21 March 1931 – 12 June 2010). As a teen in the 1940s, Williamson took art classes with Burne Hogarth, and later attended Hogarth's Cartoonists and Illustrators School, where he met Roy Krenkel. Among Williamson’s very first profes- sional work were laying out and penciling a number of Tarzan newspaper Sunday pages for Hogarth in 1948. Williamson reported that he had recommended John Celardo to assist Hogarth on the strip. In the early 1950s, Williamson was the youngest member in the acclaimed EC Comics stable of artists, often collaborating with Frank Frazetta. Williamson’s photorealistic pen-and-brush style and dynamic composition earned him the highest accolades from peers and fans for decades, and he became a mentor to many promising artists over the years, including Michael Kaluta. Williamson was a Al Williamson in the 1950s. featured guest at the 1998 Baltimore Dum-Dum.

  • Baycon Hugo Awards Ceremony Transcription, Cleaned Version [Note: Baycon, the 1968 Worldcon, Had Its Entire Program Taped by KPFA
    Baycon Hugo Awards Ceremony Transcription, cleaned version [Note: Baycon, the 1968 Worldcon, had its entire program taped by KPFA. As far as I know, the tapes are lost. However, Alva Rogers had a transcript made for a planned Proceedings of Baycon of the Hugo Awards Ceremony. It’s a bit of a mess. This is cleaned up as much as I can do so, guessing in many cases about who was being referred to under the various spellings of names, and interpolating Alva’s handwritten corrections when they make sense. I’ve also had to guess about when various people started and stopped speaking. It’s been easier to retype the whole thing than try to get an OCR system to deal with it. Punctuation is, as always with a transcript from a recording, a guess – I’ve done my best to make it cleaner for the text as something to read. I have not, however, tried to change what people said 47 years ago. This is a document of our history. Anything said then probably wouldn’t be said the same way now. Some other documents from the proposed Proceedings exist, but not many; after we get this cleaned up, I may publish some of them in the same way. Tom Whitmore, cleaner] ROBERT SILVERBERG (Toastmaster): Forgive me for beginning the festivities on a solemn note, but I think I should explain what I’m doing up here, as I’m not the Toastmaster who was chosen for this a year ago when Alva, Ben and Bill made their convention bid.
