Long-lost fan friends 2003


These folks were friends of mine who I used to meet at every Balticon, whether it was in the suburbs or downtown Baltimore. Don and Nancy Fairhurst worked for a Secret Agency in the Metro DC area and were very knowledgeable about history, politics, and fantasy and SF authors. At the conventions they wore "ritual" garb, with elements of fantasy, such as Don's pseudo-military attire and Scottish beret. They were perennial program listeners, enjoying the more academic activities at conventions. They are both gone to the convention of heaven.
