Gerald,
I also have a copy of Lloyd Stagner's book. I had not thought about
it, but I will include it in my source references. I agree that the
quality of reproduction in those early fan trip paperback books was
not the greatest. Possibly I can track down some of those authors and
obtain original copies of the photos for the article, I would
certainly welcome photos from anyone that were taken on a Q fan trip.
As I noted earlier, after I started college in 1961, I was limited on
the number of trips that I could make.
I will definitely be in contact with you and others off list for
other available details that you want to share.
