I have been going to the Stellafane Convention for 25 years in a row. Luey has been going there for 34 years! He has had the food concession at the convention since before I first went there. I happened to have a conversation with him on Friday night when it was quiet, and he said that this was going to be his last year. This is a portrait of him and his wife Ann under their tent. They have been married for 10 years now and she has been there helping him, side by side for the last ten years. But he said the long days they have to put in are just too much at their age. Oh, and get this - in our conversation he mentioned that she is a cyclist, and rides 25 miles every day! They are both such lovely people and I will really miss them in the years to come.
