This was my favorite ReaderCon ever, as you cam read more about in my ReaderCon report
http://kestrell.livejournal.com/517755.html .
One of the highlights was finding a stack of out-of-print Walter de la Mare story collections at the table of Bill Keaveny, proprietor of VanishingBooks.com. He and I had so much fun talking about why we were de la Mare fans that I found myself asking, "Hey, wouldn't it be great to have Walter de la Mare as a ReaderCon Memorial GOH?" to which Bill (and later Liz Hand) agreed.
So this is my official petition to propose Walter de la Mare as a Memorial GOH for a future ReaderCon.
