In Memoriam
Allan Rothstein
Allan Rothstein died on June 24, 2004. He was a founding member of SCIFI and served on the LASFS Board of Directors. Active in con-running, he worked for Loscon, Westercon, NASFiC, and LA Cons. In 1991, he was the fan guest of honor at Loscon 18. He won the Laurel/Wordsworth Award for Poetry in 1990.
A fund to create Allan Rothstein a Pillar of the LASFS has been established. Donations are being collected and held by Karl Lembke. Drop money in the Red Stein at the clubhouse, or hand it to Karl when you see him. If you must hand over a check, please make it payable to Charles R. Lembke.
One of the Rules states that the Club Treasurer is not to be involved in managing the funds until the entire Pillar donation is handed over in one lump sum. If you hand Karl an instrument that can only be cashed by LASFS, you will have it as an encumbrance against your account until the entire donation amount is reached. If you're happy with this situation, I am too. If not, you know what to do.
Donations can be mailed to:

In Memoriam
Bruce Pelz: Aug. 11, 1936 - May 9, 2002
Bruce Pelz spearheaded the drive to incorporate the LASFS and then to build up enough money so that it could buy its own clubhouse. He chaired a Worldcon and many other conventions and served in many ways through fandom. Bruce was Fan Guest of Honor at nine science fiction conventions including the 1980 World Science Fiction Convention in Boston.
Bruce published at least one piece of short fiction, "Cold Service" which appeared in Alternate Worldcons and Again, Alternate Worldcons. He co-edited The White Papers published by NESFA Press in 1996. He was a Master Costumer and won awards at numerous Worldcon, Westercon and other convention Masquerades. He also wrote several filksongs and published The Filksong Manual, which is being kept in print by Lee Gold.
A Pillar has been placed in the LASFS clubhouse in his honor.
