A WORD FROM THE EDITOR
A fun month. OASFiS was represented at the UCF
Bookfair. The picnic was great. Thank You to everyone who
helped out.
Next month we will have the Nebula winners, and
some reviews.
Correction to March’s minutes: Bob Yazel had panned
Robocop as an unexciting and unnecessary remake of its
original, and had praised Pompeii for its visuals and the
unexpected finale.
Till next time.
