I have read all logs 1969-80. : HWat year was he president? He was one of the freshmen who called a meeting in October 1974 to form a science fiction club.Harold Groot,president of the SFForum since the spring 1973 meeting that deposed the absentee Norm Hochberg who had succeeded on the resignation of Lou Stathis(later a pro editor and more recently dead),attended the meeting and let them know that there already WAS a club,with its own library even...and led them to the Original Forum.Harold and Phil Markowitz being the only active members of the old Forum left (a third one did sign into the log once later),the new members became the bulk of the new SFF,and from January '75 Lenny was President until succeeded by Lee "I am the President,make no mistake about that" Burberry a year later. **@***.com 01/01/1998 00:00:000 UTC Perrianne Lurie (b********r@p*******e.com) wrote: : "Steven McDonald" <**@**.net> wrote: : : >In case the news hasn't reached back that far yet, former SF Forum president : >Leonard Dorsky got married this December, to Warner Bros. executive Jean : >Duranti. : : Is there anyone here who knows who Leonard Dorsky is?

Of course.He was the president between Harold Groot and Lee Burberry; basically for the year 1975.I never met him,but he did show up in '78 just before graduating,and Joe Brenner saw him.I eventually saw him at the Grand Guignol presentation he did at the 1996 Worldcon...did not speak to him,could only cede so much time from post-Hugo party-crawl! : Perrianne Lurie : b********r@p*******e.com Steven McDonald 31/12/1997 00:00:000 UTC Wayyy back -- in the seventies, I believe.

Correct enough,though I think Lee B. took over in January '76. Be careful about trusting the sf4m.org web page...last I saw it still had three-year secretary,NEVER president Donna Ruettiman on its presidents list. : Funny thing is, my agent was the first prez of same....

He's one of Tor's collection of independent editors, but has been operating as an agent for quite a few years. I was pointed that way by Cherry Wilder after I retired from television writing and it turned out that the SF Encyclopedia was saying remarkably nice things about me.
