Albacon Chairman Wombat (sometimes known as jan howard finder) writes
Albacon regretfully announces that, due to health issues, Anne McCaffrey will not be able to attend the convention. I’m sure you’ll join us in wishing her a speedy recovery.
But Albacon will continue. Todd McCaffrey will still be Guest of Honor, and we have full slate of programming and events. These include the Ice Cream Social, the Saturday Night Extravaganza, 1632.com, and a special presentation by some of the stars of Star Trek II: New Voyages. In addition, some of this year’s guests are Eric Flint, Deborah Doyle and Jim Macdonald, Steve Miller and Sharon Lee, David Hartwell, Geoffrey Landis, Alexis Gilliland, SFScope Editor Ian Randal Strock, and many others.
Though we, of course, would have preferred that Anne attend, we still expect this to be the best Albacon ever. Hope to see you there.
Albacon is a science fiction convention in Albany, New York, being held this coming weekend. Anne & Todd McCaffrey are the Guests of Honor, with Barclay Shaw as Artist Guest of Honor, Gary S. Blog as Fan Guest of Honor, and Eric Flint as Special Guest.
