Jay Lake Receives John W Dalmas Award

January 9th, 2010 by Editors

Email from RadCon informs us that Jay Lake is the 2010 recipient of the John W. Dalmas Award. We don’t know much about the award, or Mr. Dalmas, but we understand that the award was made to Jay for his services to RadCon, and to fandom in general, and we are not in the least bit surprised that he has been so rewarded.

The award will be presented to Jay at the opening ceremonies of RadCon 2010.

Unfortunately I won’t be there to accept the Dalmas Award this year due to my chemotherapy for metastatic colon cancer, but Shannon Page, my life partner, will be accepting for me.
