  • RIP Tony Lewis

    From Gary McGath@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 13 06:24:42 2025
    It's been reported on File 770 and elsewhere that Tony Lewis has died.
    If he'd lived just a few days more and been healthy enough to travel
    locally, he could have added another Boskone to his perfect record of
    attending them all since the beginning.

    Starting in 1941? How old was he?

    I'm counting only the current Boskone series run by BoSFS and later
    NESFA, not the earlier set of cons by the same name run by a different
    group. The present series started in 1965.

    1941 was the year Tony was born, making him 83 or 84 at the time of his
    death.
