I'm sure Dick was a guest at more than two cons, but that's all I can find. Can someone else fill that part out some more? And by the way, how do you search for references to a name? If I search for "Dick Eney", even putting it in quotes, I get taken directly to his page. Searching for references to him would likely have turned up more information about his guest history.

As you type in the search box, a list appears. At the bottom, it says “Containing...” Click there, instead of hitting return, to get internal search.
There are a lot of references to Eney in Fancy, but it doesn’t appear that he was goh anywhere but LAcon that we know of.
BTW, con names alone in the recognition list imply a goh. If somebody was a “special guest” or “keynote speaker,” or something, that should be spelled out. Toastmaster is a job, though, not an honor.
