The Wombat, aka jan howard finder, has been reading SF for more than 50 years and active in SF circles for about 30. He chaired 2 Tolkien conferences in 1969 and 1971. After finding fandom in '72 and cons in '73, he ran 2 SF cons ('77 and '79) in the UK. In '93 he was accorded the genuine honor of being named as an Honored Guest at CONFRANCISCO, the 1993 Worldcon. He came out of retirement in 96 to chair ALBACON 96. Still brain dead, he successfully chaired SFRA 2001, an academic conference on SF. He participates in, judges and MC's masquerades. (But wait...there's more...)
He is one of the best auctioneers found at cons. According to backs that know, he gives the best backrubs north of the South Pole. He put out an award winning fanzine, The Spang Blah. He sold a short story in 81 and edited an SF anthology, Alien Encounters in 82, and published his incredible Finder's Guide to Australterrestrials. He is a marsupial groupie. In 99 he attended A3, afterwards he drove about Oz for a total of 174 days looking for wombats. He puts out an irregular fanzine on Arthur Upfield, an Australian mystery writer. He also likes aerobics, learned to scuba, is taking up sailing, learning how to play cricket, has a budding film career and visited Middle-earth in Jan 04. Ask him about Yaminons, wombats, BYTELOCK, visiting Middle-earth and other stuff. He is a neat guy. Buy him a Pepsi! |
