The following account is reprinted with permission from THE STARSHIP EXPRESS Copyright 1988 Philip J De Parto:

Author Christopher Rowley was the featured speaker at the September 12, 1988 meeting. Attendance ... was up a bit over the past few meetings, we had four new members join us, set up and clean up were handled in near-record time. The meeting actually even started more-or-less on time.

Rowley talked about how he became involved with science fiction, writers whose works he admires, what his own particular strengths as an sf writer are, and answered a flow of questions from the audience. He discussed differences between the British and American sf scenes, and read a few passages from a few of his works.

Also in the audience were Veronica Chapman from Del Rey Books and Joe Schaumburger from DAW. Paul Dellechiaie, Matthew Marcus, and Glen Mills won free books. Tickets for the October Schiller's Book Store Gift Certificate were sold.

A whole bunch of people helped out with making September run exceptionally smooth including, but not limited to, Sharon Archer, Leora Baeder and Jill Orovitz. Thanks to one and all.
