<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Dear SFCC members,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">As a new member, I post this information on our latest acquisition, some 1500 hardback and paperback Science Fiction titles gifted to us last year by Prof. Fred Fastier, first
head of Pharmacology here at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. A link to a photo opportunity is provided (please excuse my Quasimodo-like stance at the back).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Prof. Fastier is 92, quick-witted, smart (he enjoys writing limericks), and over the years he has been extremely generous to the University. To celebrate his generosity, I
will be mounting a Sci Fi exhibition of his books in Special Collections in late March next year. As he remarked to me, he will happily open the exhibition ‘if he is here!’
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Like all our exhibitions, it will eventually be on-line.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">At the moment, only a small portion is catalogued & some covers have been scanned. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">In our modest way, we will build slowly on this collection.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
