    Horizons, if memory serves, is the name of this FAPAzine. This is the November, 1976, issue, unless they’ve converted the calend­ ar to the metric system. It is volume 38, number 1, FAPA number 142, and whole number 148. Pressing my luck, I’ll also venture a guess that it’s mostly the work of Harry Warner, Jr., 423 Summit Avenue, Hagerstown, Maryland, 21740, U.S.A. Mimeography is by the Coulsons. ‘ : In the Beginning The Fantasy Amateur: Maybe the change in the secretary-treasurer- ship should also involve a change in the custom of requiring wait listers to acknowledge the FA. It seems unfair to require waiting listers to do something twice as often as members, and the large proportion of people who drop from FAPA after only six or eighteen months’ membership indicates that this custom doesn’t guarantee lasting interest in membership. I’m afraid we may have lost some potentially valuable members because they were dropped from the waiting list for lack of response.

  • Warner Wolf Suing Don Imus for Age Discrimination
    Warner Wolf suing Don Imus for age discrimination nypost.com/2018/02/15/warner-wolf-suing-don-imus-for-age-discrimination/ By Andrew Marchand For a retirement present, one New York broadcast legend has filed a lawsuit against another. Warner Wolf is taking Don Imus and three others to the New York State Supreme Court, alleging Wolf was let go from WABC’s “Imus in the Morning” show at the end of 2016 because of age discrimination and is owed severance, as well as damages for “severe mental anguish, emotional distress, humiliation,” among other maladies. Imus is scheduled to retire from his show at the end of March. He regularly makes fun of everything and everybody. In the suit, Imus is the first one named as a defendant, along with WABC GM Chad Lopez, Cumulus Sr. VP Mike McVay and WABC program director Craig Schwalb. The claim was filed late Thursday morning, and a copy was obtained by The Post. Wolf’s lawyer, Douglas H. Wigdor writes, “Imus routinely made inappropriate comments about the Plaintiff’s age, including stating that it was ‘time to put [Mr. Wolf] out to pasture’ and ‘shoot him with an elephant dart gun.’” In 2016, the suit says that Imus replaced Wolf, then 78, because of his age and hired Sid Rosenberg, who was 30 years younger. Wolf claims that Cumulus refused to honor severance for 26 weeks of pay, amounting to $97,500. There seems to be a disagreement between the two parties if a deal had been officially consummated. Both Imus and Wolf have had legendary broadcast careers.
