Welcoming Committee consisted of Bruce Yerke, Morojo, 4e, Bill Crawford, Art Joquel, Pogo, Velinjaf, Henry Hasse & Ed Chamberlain. Other placards read: "Hornig is back -- that hack!" & "(a Bradbury inspiration) "Welcome Hornig -- the poor man's Clark Gable."

Discust were the Draft, the future of Science Fiction, the advance issue of Specula, & any number of other items.  Hornig emfaticly denyd that there was any truth to the rumor.  Any rumor.
