View source for Big 'D' in '59

[[File:Big D in 59 Ad.jpg|thumb]]
The Big 'D' in '59 bid was organized by [[Dale Hart]], [[Tom Reamy]], and probably [[Richard Koogle]].  They advertised in the [[Solacon]] PR 2 which was published in early 1958 but apparently did not file and thus was not voted on during [[site selection]] at [[Solacon]]. 

It seems likely that the failure of the [[bid]] was in some way associated with the collapse of the [[Dallas Futurian Society]] in July, 1958 -- though which caused which is unclear.

In any event, [[Detroit in '59]] was selected.  See [[1959 Worldcon Site Selection]].
