dots 10 my own yap. Ron has a great sense of humor, and he just oozed Probability Zero concepts all afternoon and evening interspersed with serious talk. His mind is lightning fast, and it was extremely interesting to watch him expound something utterly fantastic and then immediately cover up the holes which Swisher and Campbell would punch in the fabric. The weather was hot and humid, with a capital "whew!" but we hardly noticed it in the shade of the Swisher pear trees, with a slight breeze favoring the hillside, and the game of mental foils to watch. Ron had but shortly returned from Australia, and had dozens of interesting anecdotes to relate to us sticks-in-the-mud. But "oi weh!", he thinks the way things are going, the war will last for another ten years. Suddsy, Tom, and Harry couldn't make it until around 8 P M, but they were happy to get there at all, when they considered what they might have missed. No doubt the rest of the gang will present a delightfully monochromatic contrast, running from lettuce to forest green, when they find out about it. Oh yes, Walt Nickel arrived in the late afternoon, sporting a Bing Crosby shirt. Darkness and a few drops of rain fell together, and we retired to the living room for the traditional perusal of the funnies and audition of the "heart-rending" BLUE EYES, and the just plain "rending" IONIZATION. Most of us travelled back together on the Boston-bound bus, and we were startled to find out that Hubbard was also Kurt von Rachen and Rene Lafayette. Wow! WE WERE GLADDENED, and then saddened at the August 13th meeting by the surprise appearance of Tom Gardner, with wife! - and the news that they were going back to Tennessee to live. We certainly will miss Tom, and hope that he will come back and pay us a visit sometime. He is certainly an asset to any organization, be it stf club or scientific society. Clear ether, Tom! THE MAIN BUSINESS tended to at the September 13th meeting - was the decision to commission Jules and Suddsy to build up the club library by judicious purchases (which they are in the best position to do) of old magazines - not only for the benefit of present members, but as an enticement for new fans discovered in the Greater Boston area to join The Stranger Club. An outstanding event of the year, was the retitling of Suddsy's FAPA fanzine, CERES, to the much more appropriate monicker of "AAGH!" For the details of yhos' bike trip to New York and return, see the November issue of SPACEWAYS, which contains "The Log of the FooFoo Special, Jr." * yhos thinks Frank Wilimczyk is a nice guy, and particularly non-drippy for a new fan. * Frank's fanzine is like himself. quiet, unassuming, and free of the usual puerile droolings and conceit you find in a new fanzine. *yhos urges you to try it. 10[[cent symbol]], or 3/25[[cent symbol]], from Frank Wilimczyk, Jr, 3 Lewis St, Westfield, Mass. * this is not a paid ad, but a free,unsolicited, plug . . . . yhos
