World of Greyhawk Fan Club, requesting Info

[Ken M]

Hello,

At WIKI there is a page created by Randy Richards.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Richards

The question I have is in regards to this quote:
"World of Greyhawk Fan Club, which once claimed to be "the largest Greyhawk fan organization in the world." The organization claimed among its members such luminaries as Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson, Rob Kuntz, Frank Mentzer, Len Lakofka and Jim Ward. In 1998 Randy sponsored the "Celebrity Greyhawk Dinner" and "Greyhawk Celebrity Panel Seminar." "

Does anyone have any info on this event, organization. The people listed are pretty importent to the hobby at the time. Any information would help.

Regards,
Ken

You should not take that seriously. Samwise could tell some more about it all, but is not worth the trouble.

Ummm . . . yeah.

Ultra-short version:
That organization is long defunct.

I understand, I’m looking to debunk this in some form due to Randies constant posting using members from the D&D community. He’s offering this on WIKI and other sites. I know the organization is dead, but, did it ever exist in the manner described by Randy. It’s his touchstone to fame, but I must have blinked when it happened because I never heard of it.

Not trying to stir the pot, just looking for some truth to topple his claims. Sorry if I opened an old wound.

Regards
Ken
