IN Memoriam
Our original Master of Ceremonies Jack Chalker sadly passed away February 11
after being seriously ill for several months.
Jack had been a friend to southern fandom in general and to many of us on a personal level.
It was an honor to ask Jack to be the MC since this years Xanadu is the Deep South Con
and it would be a way to thank him for all he had done for southern fandom in the past
and especially for Nashville fandom. He will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his wife Eva C. Whitley, and sons David Whitley Chalker and Steven Lloyd Chalker,
Condolences can be sent to The Mirage Press Ltd., P.O. Box 1689, Westminster, Maryland 21158-1689
