Winning by Intimidation

* JUNEAU, Alaska--A collision between a jet and a fish delayed an Alaska Airlines flight while the plane was inspected for damage.

"They found a greasy spot with some scales, but no damage," said Paul Bowers, Juneau airport manager.

The fish was dropped by a bald eagle.

The collision occurred as the Boeing 737 took off Monday from Juneau. About 400 feet past the runway, it crossed the flight path of the eagle.

The law of the jungle prevailed, Bowers said. "As the larger bird approached, the smaller bird dropped its prey." The fish hit a small window at the top of the cockpit. Bowers said.

MINUTES OF CORPORATION MEETING

March 3, 1987 at Gilliland House after regular WSFA meeting.

Kent Bloom reported that DISCON III may be officially a Corporation by Monday the 6th. "Inc." should therefore be added to the bid stationary used for official or documentary correspondence. The Secretary must arrange for a Corporate Seal (a rubber stamp will do). Kent had a copy of the Lawyer's presentation for our incorporation given to each member present. No action was taken on it. He read it and explained it as necessary boiler plate.

Joe Mayhew reported that so far 143 buttons had been sold, raising $715.00. He had spent all but $22.10 of the operating fund of $150.00 voted to him at the previous meeting, details were provided to the Treasurer. 2000 Fliers were produced and some distributed at Boskone. Ads had been contracted for Conspiracy's PR 4 and Souvenir Booklet, AD ASTRA (Canvention) and Minicon. Ads would be taken in the CactusCon (Nasfic), NolaCon and Noreascon III pubs. The V.M.Wyman T shirt had been requested by at least 12 persons and would be produced. Ray Ridenour's T Shirt would continue to be sold at $8.00 with any profits directed at the Bid Treasury. Eva Whitley said she would have her first issue of DISCONTINUITY out by Lunacon.

Naomi Ronis announced that Dues for the next quarter were due. There would be no assessment this quarter.

The following presented their initiation fees and were voted into the Corporation: Steve Swartz, Dan Hoey, Eva Whitley and Jack Chalker.

Party policy was discussed and it was agreed that we would pay for refreshments and literature, but not for rooms except in very special circumstances. Mary Morman volunteered to run the Conspiracy parties.

A Board Meeting was scheduled for planning the year's budget.

Kent Bloom requested that items for the June 7th meeting be given to him in writing in time for scheduling.
