| − | from '''[[Convention]]''': 1946 Pacificon (no pun intended) happened under [[LASFS]] auspices; attendance was disappointing on account of bungled publicity. The announcement of the formation of the [[Fantasy Foundation]] was made, [[Rothman]] [[Liebscher]] and [[Perdue]] improved the occasion with pianistics, and [[Ackerman]] had a nervous breakdown from overwork. A wire to [[Dunkelberger]] informed him that the [[N3F]] had been dissolved when a quorum of the members met at the con (probably the only time a quorum of N3F members has ever met face to face since the first year of the group's existence; Dunk hollered foul, hired a lawyer, and got ready to fight the battle of the century before [[EEEvans]] exposed the [[hoax]].
