Thanks for the announcement, Harold - I'd have felt a little silly doing
it myself. :) I've known Nick for years of course, but have never met
or even heard of Steven before Dave called me a few months back with the
news. Which call, of course, shocked me out of my tree - I was NOT
expecting it (I gather this is a common reaction). Delighted to join
such august company, of course.

Must stop blathering and go to bed.

For some years (though not recently) I used to see Steven Joel Zeve at
Consonance.

Congratulations, Kay. And sorry about mispelling your name. I was trying to get word out quickly and accurately for those who were not at FKO this year.

For a while he had a major role in running filk at Conterpoint and
Balticon, though he's less active in them these days.

Yes, I'm told shock is a common reaction to being told you've been
inducted, especially for the folks who are best known as
organizers/facilitators rather than performers or publishers. Personally
I'm always delighted when they recognize the folks who've done the less
glamorous work that needed doing to make it all possible.


Reminder to all: The FHOF is always seeking nominations. Even if you're
sure someone has already been nominated, consider sending in your own
arguments for why they should be recognized; your comments may add an
insight that hasn't previously been mentioned.
