Not to be a name dropper, but I'd like to give some props to my mom who helped set up THE St. Louis convention, Archon. If you go to the Archon website, you will see that Barb Fitzsimmons was one of the chairs for Archons 1-3 and the Fan Guest of Honor for the 1997 Archon.
I owe my love of science fiction to her and my father. Let me tell you, it was great growing up around people like George R.R. Martin, Joe Haldeman, Glen Cook, Vic Milan, and many others. I have a very impressive collection of signed first editions thanks to my parents.
I am in no way trying to sound self-important, but I am awfully proud of my mother for helping to start a great science fiction convention in our home town. Too bad it now resides in Illinois. Oh well, here's hoping we can get one or more BDHs to come to our modest convention sometime in the future.
