The Fellowship of NESFA (FN)
by Anthony R. Lewis
The
Fellowship was created to honor those people who have made a significant
contribution to NESFA and to the furtherance of its aims. The Fellowship is
modeled after academic fellowships and Fellows are awarded the privilege of the
postnominal abbreviation FN. New Fellows are installed at an annual banquet each fall. The date after each name shows the year of election; if no date is given,
the year is 1976, when the Fellowship was established. signifies that a Fellow
has died.
The
original proposal was to call this the Order of the Spaceship and Sun after the
imperial insignia in the Foundation series. Approval was obtained from Isaac
Asimov for this, but in the end it was decided that Fellowship of NESFA was more
appropriate for our aims.
The
new Fellows are elected each Fall and announced at the Fellowship Banquet held
in November at various restaurants around the area. If the new Fellow cannot
attend, they are taken out to dinner at the next Boskone or Worldcon which they
do attend. Each fellow receives a Certificate
of Fellowship suitable for framing, etc.
The
Fellows are listed by year of creation; there is also an
alphabetical list.
