NOTES FROM ANNIE'S ATTIC
I owe an apology to William Mize
who administers the Tampa Bay Fandom Page. I told him months ago that I'd
put word about his web site in SHLT and I have forgotten to do that ever
since. It would be a shame if you were not informed about this page. It's quite
comprehensive. It's got links to media fan groups, SF groups, convention
news, Society for Creative Anachronisms folks, and more. Even though I
have been remiss in my duty, Will has kept a link to the Stone Hill site all
along. So, do me and yourself a favor and visit Will's site and tell him you
found the news here. The URL is: http://members.com/tbayfandom
Although I have not been surfing the net quite as much as I did in
January and February, I have been online a lot. Much of the time has been
spent on my fencing pages on TRIPOD. If you want to get on the web and
put your words and/or pictures out there for all the other surfin' dudes and
dudettes to see, TRIPOD is a great place to do that. You get 5 megs of free
homepage space and they have "Quick Page Builder" which allows you to
create a web page without knowing a smidgen of HTML. They also have a
format for those who are HTML knowledgeable. I like to use the "Quick
Page Builder" and then edit with some of my own HTML. That gives you the
best of both worlds. The TRIPOD site is at: http://tripod.com
If you'd like to see some of what I've got there now, check out these

STONE HILL BIRTHDAYS
Our Stone Hill friends who have birthdays
this month are:
VIDCON & CONGAMES
We are still looking for a few helpers for
ConGames. We need registration staff, some game masters, and general
gopher help on July 25-26. Please contact Dean or Heather Dryer to
volunteer. You can reach them via the Stone Hill mail box at P.O. Box 2076,
Riverview, FL 33568 or by e-mail at: kasumi.tendo@worldnet.att.net
VIDCON has staff but is open to suggestions for program ideas. We
have a fencing demonstration planned and a play but are looking for media
topics for panels and people whoíd like to be on media fan panels. For more
information or to submit suggestions, e-mail Debra Hicks at:
74367.312@compuserve.com or send her snail mail care of the Stone Hill
P.O. Box.
MORRIS' MINI REVIEW
If you are looking for a good book to read, I
suggest THE MOON AND THE SUN by Vonda McIntyre. This book is a
blend of history, fantasy, science fiction, and romance. What more could you
ask for? It's a gentle and intriguing book about characters you can really care
for. It takes place in France, during the late part of Louis XVI's reign. One of
the things I liked about the book is that it dealt with the true nature of beauty.
What might seem to be unlikely people are the romantic and heroic leads in
this tale because they have beautiful spirits.
MAY STONE HILL MEETING
The meeting in on May 10 will be held
at Marna, Ian and Jack Faber's home at 8200 Hornwood Place, Tampa. The
