(personal note: I have a dear friend who was involved with W. Fenza for a period of time. I know that their name has been brought into some of the discussion around him. This only shows the power of a dominant personality and just how careful we all need to be.)
W. Fenza was the lawyer involved, at least for a short time, of Silver Phoenix Society, he was "The attorney who filed the incorporation papers for Silver Phoenix Society". They were the group that originally took over JM events such as Wicked Faire and Steampunk World's Fair. As far as I know, as of late 2020, SPS is disbanded.
