  This sub-thread had been about when Mike Gunderloy was trying to be an omniapan. I don't see why anyone would necessarily assume that this was when he was most active doing _other_ things -- such as Factsheet Five. Or when he was most active in any _particular_ apa.

  During that time I folded my first fanzine, Psi-Phi, after my coeditor went off to college at Stanford, started another fanzine, Frap, that lasted half a dozen issues in 1963-64, jousted with Bruce Pelz and several others for "omni-apan" status (I think my peak was six apas at the same time), and developed a social life that largely moved outside fannish circles.
