Please Consider Writing Shel Dorf

According to a widely-circulated private letter that's probably been posted somewhere by the time this note rolls out, Shel Dorf has been in the hospital since April, and while he's currently stable at the very least he's likely to remain where he is for quite some time to come.

I don't know Shel Dorf, but I'm aware he's one of the seminal figures in the early development of San Diego's Comic-Con International, and the person with the most legitimate claim to be called the show's outright founder. (These kinds of things tend to never start with one person, though, and I imagine there were several people around at the start and the show sprang forward from their collective energies.)

I very much enjoy going to the modern iteration of that show.

I'm told that it might do Mr. Dorf some good to hear from people grateful for that show and his role in it, or from anyone whose life path has crossed Dorf's in some way, perhaps through his other efforts in California fandom or through his work with Milton Caniff. If that describes you, and you feel compelled to act, you can send a note, card or letter to:

Shel Dorf
Sixth Floor, Room 656
Sharp Hospital
7901 Frost St
San Diego, CA 92123

I'll be joining you with a card of my own.
