Twilight Echoes, Fall 1944

Page 4

him, I conour with Fran on the fact that I've been far too inactive and I hope to chalk up at least a dozen pages of published material this year, even if I have to chisel in on a dozen different publications. Now that I've gotten a lot of comment out of my system I believe that I can settle down to a couple of serious articles of features, albeit not too serious. Eventually I suppose I'll be forced to bow out of the stf picture for another indefinite period when my engagement with Anne Knowlton of Philadelphia comes to a head, but that won't be for a few mailings. I'm sure no one will begrudge the fact.
                 Stf's Original GI Joe.

Mimeographed by Laney and Brown for Joe Fortier, FAPA, Fall 1944.

   Joe, if I may take the liberty of filling up a bit of your unused stencil: There is no reason for your marriage to knock you out of the stfield (the Ackerman influence -- oh NO!), unless you really want to sefer connections with it. Many very active fans are solid old married men, and, in fact, fandom is one of the best hobbies going for a married man who has to watch his expenditures. Try to find any hobby in which one can do so much for so little cash cutlay. And take a look at this very partial list of married fans: Laney, Baldwin, Widner, Ashley, Sehnert, LCSmith, Burbee, Dunkelberger, Unger, Swisher, Wollheim.... there's lots of us.

   Also, the columns of Fan-Dango are open to you at any time with the provision that any possibly libelous material is subject to such revision as may pull the libel out of it. (In case you don't realise it, you laid yourself open several places in the above.) Or, if you'd prefer your own mag, TWILIGHT ECHOES, I'll see to it that up to four pages of it hit each mailing, as long as you get the stuff to me six weeks before the deadline, accompanied by certain flat, long, green, crinkly stuff for buying of stencils and paper. This offer also applies to other service members of FAPA; though I'd prefer you do as Milty does and send your stencils ready-cut.
                      ---FTLaney, stenciller. (I blush to admit it!) All strikeovers on the house!
