hazelchazHave you served as chair for a fannish convention, and believe you can lay your hands on a list of chairs? (I'll settle for all the chairs through your year, for example if you printed that in your program book.) I'm trying to build up my reference data that I use when I update Fan Gallery bio captions.
I have some info already on file, I'll be summarizing them in chunks.
Conventions (E-L) that I already have some chair info for.
Eastercon. Many recent chairs, see below. My notes here if you want to check my work.
FanHistoricon, through 2002.
Foolscap, through 2004.
Gallifrey One, through 2004.
Gaylaxicon, 1988 only.
Genericon (New York), 1992 only.
HexaCon, 1997-2006.
InCon (Spokane), 1990-2001.
Lepracon (Wenatachee WA), complete, 2001-'02.
Leprecon (Arizona), through 2013.
Loscon, through 2015.

I created that web page listing Confusion GoHs and Chairs and am glad to see it is still being maintained. I hope that continues. I created it as a tool for future Registration heads at ConFusion, since by our policies everyone on it has a free membership for life.

1980 (Albacon '80, Glasgow) was the fake Bob Shaw.
