NO OLD BUSINESS
NEW BUSINESS:
Lee Uba thought it would be nice to have WSFA's 4th of July party at the home of a quadraplegic friend of hers who had never been to a WSFA meeting. It was generally felt that this was something to investigate rather than to act upon.

Some members of WSFA have received a "pyramid letter" recently from a C.S. Cooke of [censored], Woodbridge, VA 22192-2731 (Sam Schwartz's address). Despite the claims of legality at its top, the U.S. Postal Service holds such letters as illegal and prosecutes those brought to its attention.
The WSFA mailing list is not provided for such abusive use. It should not be used for commercial purposes, sold to or used for political ends.
Pyramid letters probably have very little appeal to most fans. They
are simple minded frauds actually built upon the concept that if you
send me a dollar, I'll get rich and then you can ask others to send
you a dollar and so on. Anyone who participates in such a scheme is
either a simpleton or a criminal.
