Interstellar Ramjet Feb.-June '06
Interstellar Ramjet Feb.-June '06 / Bill Wright, 4 / 1 Park St., St. Kilda, Vict. 3182 Australia / Rosy and I heard tell at worldcon that Bill Wright -- one of our most stalwart friends and guides during our DUFF trip -- has been seriously ill, terrible news which explains why we haven't seen an issue of I.R.S. since June. Wishing Bill the best, let's look at these three issues. All are blessed with absolutely gorgeous color covers by Dick Jennsen, a.k.a. Ditmar, any one of which I would have been honored to feature on Challenger. Within, after a short explanation of the painting by the artist, Bill's contributor Stefan yaps about the organized mayhem known as Aussie Rules Football, Wright hits us with "clerihews", and shows off photos of Bruce Gillespie's floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and the nice cabinet for his Ditmar Awards. Oh! I want to go back to Oz!!! MELBOURNE IN 2010!!! (Get well soon, Bill!)
