Avestacon ends


Scholarly conferences can be a tough job. As Avestacon came to a close I sketched another two dignitaries. Both of them were active in the Zoroastrian community as teachers and organizers. After Avestacon I continued to visit with Zoroastrians and I wrote a lot of articles for "Westerners" about aspects of Z. faith and culture. I had it in mind that at some point I would draw back from my connection with the Zoroastrians once they had their own organization and public infrastructure, and by Year 2000 I was ready to move on to something else.
