TheThunderChild writes “Michael Sinclair, known as the Commodore because of the railroad gear he usually wore, was very active in fandom in the 1970s and 80s (attending conventions in cities such as Chattanooga, Bowling Green,and so on) and is sharing his recollections with The Thunder Child. In addition to his anecdotes about RiverCon, Chattacon, and so on, we’ve got pages featuring his collection of badges and program booklets. You can check out his stories at:
