A Mile Closer to the Stars
Congratulations to Steve and Sue Francis! They have won the 2008 Down Under Fan Fund (DUFF). They will attend Swancon 2008, the 47th Australian National Convention and the 33rd annual West Australian Science Fiction Convention. The Australasia Administer, Norman Cates, and I know they will have a great time greeting old friends and meeting new friends.
We had well over 200 ballots this race — that’s a pretty good show of interest for DUFF. We would like to thank Jean Weber for setting up the first online voting site for DUFF. It allowed fans to vote right up to the very end of the deadline. We received 38 votes online.
