Notes
According to Fred's research (Log 007 a, 1978-11-15, referencing older, lost Logs), Lenny Dorsky started 1974-10-07 but by 1987 largely GAFIAted while an undergrad.
«He was one of the freshmen who called a meeting in October 1974 to form a science fiction club. Harold Groot, president of the SFForum since the spring 1973 meeting that deposed the absentee Norm Hochberg who had succeeded on the resignation of Lou Stathis (later a pro editor and more recently dead),attended the meeting and let them know that there already WAS a club, with its own library even...and led them to the Original Forum. Harold and Phil Markowitz being the only active members of the old Forum left (a third one did sign into the log once later), the new members became the bulk of the new SFF, and from January '75 Lenny was President until succeeded by Lee "I am the President, make no mistake about that" Burberry a year later.» (1997-12-30)
