First Contact:  Reading the stuff since sometime in the 50s.
                Tracked down *all* the critical literature in book 
                form in the'60s. Read The DOUBLE:BILL Symposium and 
                RIVERSIDE QUARTERLY in 1970. Further lured into fandom 
                by Ted White's AMAZING and Charles Platt's New School 
                class in the early 70s. Locced Bowers, Gaier, and Geis 
                zines mid-70s. Finally dared do a zine 5/5/77.
