Thanks for posting these photos too. I now remember that Shel took a group of us SCCSers to Filippi’s and Perry's. I really like the photo of George and Shel's house. Rocky's Surfshop, right across the street, appears in the opening scenes of the film Almost Famous. What a great tribute! Thanks for posting these photos too.

Having both attended and participated in Comic Con, I owe a major debt of gratitude to Shel. His early vision laid the foundation that allowed the Con to be the monolith that it is. God Speed, Shel.

It was especially good to see George Clayton Johnson looking so well. He has always been very friendly to me at every Con I've seen him at. God Bless you all! What a kind tribute.
