   As do I.  But that was when Ellen Caswell, Jack Chalker, Hal Clement,   
   Martin Deutsch, Jeannie Dunnington, Dick Eney, Marty and Bobby Gear,   
   Erica Ginter, Hal Haag, Dan Hoey, Irv Koch, Yoji Kondo, Keith Marshall,   
   Joe Mayhew, Mark Owings, Paul and Aly Parsons, Don Sakers, Peggy Rae   
   Sapienza, Charles Sheffield, Ellen Vartanoff, And Martin Morse Wooster   
   were still alive.   
      
   Many of the above-mentioned fans and pros worked hard to create,   
   maintain, and improve BSFS, Balticon, and the BSFS clubhouse.  They're   
   lucky they didn't live to see the actions of the current crew.   
      
   Several people have noticed that the current board's wrath seems to   
   be strongest against those who do the most work and against those who   
   attract the most fans.  On theory is that they're confused about how   
   non-profits work, and think that if they can get everyone else to   
   drop out, they can divide the clubhouse and other club assets among   
   themselves.
