PHOTO GALLERY 2

My mom, Irene (MacDougall) Hutchins, circa early 1950s. What a babe! I wish I'd inherited those cheekbones. Oh well. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with the Hutchins Chubby Cheeks instead.

Two photos from the first SF con I ever attended, StarCon '77, held in September of 1977 at the El Cortez Hotel in San Diego. I'm on the far left in the top photo, and second from left in the bottom photo. The first Star Wars film had been released in May of that year -- which is why we found ourselves posing with a Masquerade contestant dressed as a "cantina" character ("Florabunda" was the name of the creature, I believe). In the bottom photo, my friends and I are posing with Frank Gluck (yes, that's his name), makeup artist for the 1976 Logan's Run film. (My friend, Cathy, second from the right, thought we should get our picture taken with him because...well...he's cute.) Star Trek writer D.C. Fontana, one of the Con guests, snapped the picture for us.

Here are two of my S.C.A. (Society for Creative Anachronism) costumes: 16th Century Elizabethans. These pictures were taken in 1983 -- one at a tourney, the other at a Renaissance faire. I was known then as Amaryrillis Windemere of Land's End, of the Barony of Calafia, Kingdom of Caid. Yes, my persona was something of a fashion mavin -- I had to make a new costume for each tourney and event. Even though my persona was actually 16th Century, I did wear medieval and Greek (for the Leodamus of Thebes tournies) costumes.

No, I have never been in the Navy. In April of 1994 I was invited to participate in a Dependents' Day cruise aboard the carrier U.S.S. Kitty Hawk (CV 63) in San Diego. We actually sailed out of the Bay and into the open sea to watch an airshow on the flight deck. It's a good thing that I had a friend in the Public Affairs office onboard who lent my brother Jerry and I helmets to screen out the jet noise. (All other guests were given only earplugs -- and when you're that close to the jets, plain old styrofoam earplugs just don't cut it.)

PETER GABRIEL BUNNY
(aka GABBIE)

(1987 - 1993)

Here is my sweet bun, Gabbie, who passed away in April of 1993. I still miss him after all these years. He was a foundling, no bigger than my palm when I adopted him. Somehow, he grew bigger than two breadboxes, and then some. He was a gouda-coloured hybrid lop who had a fondness for marigolds and hybiscus leaves. He loved to have his nose rubbed, but disliked having his feet touched. Some people think that rabbits have no personality -- but that's because they have never lived with a bunny. Each bunny has his/her own unique personality -- there will never be another bun exactly like my precious Gabbie.
