Friends of Freddy
I was one of the founders of Friends of Freddy, some 20 years ago. It
began on a whim; I wanted to see there was still a fan base for the
books, and wrote to the author's widow. It turned out that Freddyites
are legion and now over 500 people belong to the organization. The
entire 26-book series is back in print, thanks to Overlook Press. The
next international convention of Friends of Freddy is in September,
2008, somewhere in the Big Woods a.k.a. The Catskills.
