This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

You know....the more I think about it, if this were called a Gene Wolfe 
Convention and were organized as such with all the events and forums and 
hoopla one expects from such things, and if it were held in the Chicago 
area, Gene would go. Also, it would probably attract more admirers on this 
list, and an impressive assortment of Named Authors as well. You should get 
in touch with the Windy Con people since they already have experience with 
such things.

If one wants merely to sit down at a meal with Gene and Rosemary, my recent 
experience was that he is an especially accessible person. If you contacted 
Teri and set a date, you could buy a plane ticket to Chicago and have the 
opportunity to take the Wolfe's to dinner yourself. Invite Teri along, 
because she's a real hoot.
