Frank Denton discovered his cabin near Mt. Rainier had been broken into when he arrived to prepare it for a New Year’s gathering of friends. Someone using bolt cutters had sliced the Master lock off the back window shutters to get in, leaving the curtains ominously blowing in the breeze. A number of appliances and a lot of blankets were taken.

Frank has published The Rogue Raven for many years, a name he also uses for his blog. I always remember him as the first person to ask me onto a convention program (at that same 1973 Westercon I wrote about a few days ago).
