This past week we have been watching, and some of you feeling, the effects of Bonnie and Clyde (Charlie.) I was following the Weather Channel from far off Crisfield as the storms took aim at the West Coast of Florida and PJ packed the menagerie (dog, bird, and rabbit) to move inland. We were spared. But Charlie seemed to draw a bead on our HQ area, many of our Directors living south of Tampa in the path of the storm as it hit the Fort Myers area and cut northeast to the Atlantic. So far there is no word of personnel casualties, but property damage, power outages, and flooding are common across Florida. Chuck, our convention director, has been dislocated, but for now we are hoping that he, and the rest of you, will have rallied and reformed for HURRICON 04. Meanwhile don’t lose your morale roll if you had delays contacting the leadership in the wake of the storms. Does anyone remember Georges? The Hurricane that filled the convention site with refugees to be entertained by Duke Seifried and his Northwest Frontier extravaganza? That was a bit close for comfort. I was in the frozen north. People reported having a great time, but the Zizos, who were running the show, must have aged ten years. But hopefully lightning won’t strike in the same place twice this year, and we can hold course and speed for a great convention. Before I conclude let me print a retraction. In the last issue I stated that our President had performed better in a Rogue Trader Tournament (RTT) than in the Chuck’s Challenge “Devil’s Wind “ game. Not so. On examining old photo files and back issues I was reminded that it was actually a Fantasy Role Playing Game at which he excelled. Sorry about that Rhett.
