Shed Your Stereotypes!

This article and sidebar of "lingo" are from the September 14, 1986 Norman Transcript.  Of course, we had an in.  Check the byline!  That's the good ol' ThunderChief hisself!

The photogged nerd in all his glory is SoonerCon co-founder Mike Hodge.  Also quoted is another SoonerCon co-founder, Tamara Hodge.

Don't forget the mighty Syd Henderson!  Also mentioned is Claire Stephens, longtime STAR OKC associate, NOSFA member, and toiler in the Central OKC Fan salt mines.

Awww, didn't Larry do us proud?

January 2005 - A Portent of Death and Fandom Resurrection!

This is the January 2005 Galactic Gazette.

As converted online from PDF to JPG "free," hence the semi-sketchy colors.

STAR's new Prez for 2005 was Lynn Yates.

These two pages are some yucks from longtime STARs Mike and Tamara Hodge.

If the "Big Howdy" from our new Prez didn't make the status of STAR OKC plain enough, you can infer more from my minutes of the December meeting and "election." 

This DVD review from yours semi-truly wrapped up the January GG.  How could we know how many-or-few issues were left!

PS the "resurrection" is a semi-cheat, because just a year later SoonerCon returned.  Hooray!

Stay tuned, campers!  If you can stay awake!
