, passage = Fandom is a wonderful thing. We used to live in Florida ten years ago. Across the street lived a lad two years older than yed' who had the most wonderful collection of comic books...all of a stf nature. At the ripe old age of eight ' yed was swept to Georgia and the lad with the comics was never heard from. Since entering fandom we thought much of him and wondered if he were not a slan. This morning we learned that he is a member of NFFF and TFSC. Naturally we got a letter off to him.
