Wow, I went away on vacation, traveling to South America, and someone named Marko Fong elected himself Vice President of the RRWG. Who was he? What cheek! I was also appalled by the new layout of the Obligatory Hug, which had taken a definite turn for the worse. The next Hug was the last straw. Subscribers complained. We revamped it to a fancy folded four page spread on good cover stock—edited by Jayne McPherson. Not sure where this was: Luther Burbank Activities Center, Sebastopol?

An odd way to document readers, but we don't have any Obligatory Hugs for 1987. That's when Mark Clagett took over.
