Where are they now?

A Virtual Reunion of Former ESFCAS Members

Whatever happened to the members of the Edmonton Science Fiction and Comic Arts Society? This page demonstrates that (1) we are all older than we realized; (2) sf clubs attract members who grow up to become contributing members of society; and (3) Google can find you wherever you are hiding.

Listings are by alphabetical order of last name. Click on photo or link for more info (where available)

(Listings include some non-ESFCAS members who were nevertheless prominent at some point in the Edmonton scene.)

Note that there is also an ESFCAS group on Facebook
