[W3WN]

I don't think I'm the man for this one, Ron—I'm a lousy cartoonist. Palm trees and clouds are one thing, what you want requires somebody with a different set of skills from mine. I appreciate the offer, though.

OK. Hey, it was a thought.

I regret having lost touch with the artist who designed my 1979 WN3VAW card. Her name is (was) Sally C. Fink, I knew her from Penn State and the SciFi fandom group up there at the time; I met her through her boyfriend/fiance/husband/ex-husband N3CHT. She did some really gorgeous pen-and-ink work, and she was kind enough to do the drawing for me (not for free... of course, the $25 it cost then was a lot more money than $25 today!). She also did artwork for George's card, and for a card for the Penn State club (which I also own -- the artwork that is, well, after all, I paid for it!). Then we drifted apart after she and George moved back to Johnstown, and I lost touch with her, and later, him. Pity. I hope she is doing well, but I haven't heard from her in years.

I recently scanned the card, and did a little manipulation on the caligraphy, so I'll be able to use it again with W3WN -- after all, it was just a little re-arranging of the letters.

(By the way, the artwork IS copyrighted by me, just in case anyone asks. I really like this card, but I just don't want to see it become another "generic" drawing that someone out there is selling, ya know what I mean?)
