                      Guest of Honor: JERRY E. POURNELLE

There are two outstanding reasons why I chose Dr. Pournelle to be the GoH 
of Conucopia.  The first is his ongoing labors to promote the continued
advancement of humanity into space.  This is a calling through which he 
shares his hope and enthusiasm in our possible future, and his willingness
to propagate information that fans might not otherwise discover on their
own.  The second reason is that in his writing he has the ability to draw
you into a story and the struggle of the characters within.  My favourite
work by him to date remains, "King David's Spaceship," one of a select
few books that I have enjoyed rereading many times.  Please join me in
celebrating his contribution to the enrichment of Science, Science Fiction
and our lives.



                   Fan Guests of Honor: RICHARD & NICKI LYNCH

Active in fandom since the mid-1970's, the Lynches have been -- and are --
club fans (Tennessee early on, Balti-Wash now), and convention fans (from
Attendee level through Department Head, to Co-Chair).  But mostly they are
known as fanzine fans, through their triple-Hugo winning MIMOSA.  They often
combine their interests -- they produced NEBULA, the convention newsletter 
for Louisville's 1979 Northamericon NASFiC.

Among other interests, Richard is a Fanhistorian -- he edited Harry Warner's
Hugo-winning "A Wealth of Fable," and has been working for the past several
years on the history of fandom in the 1960's.  Nicki is an enthusiastic 
quilter.

OBLIGATORY LIST

there will be an art show, autographs, consuite, dealers room, panels,
readings, special events, a masquerade, filking, movies, japanimation, fan
lounge, exhibits, dances, and more than I can remember at this time of
night.
