I know a handful of people who attended the Mythopoeic Society's 50th conference last week and are now attending the Tolkien's Society's 50th anniversary event.
Treachery, treachery I fear; treachery of that miserable creature.
But so it must be. Let us remember that a traitor may betray himself and do good that he does not intend.

The Mythopoeic Society has put together a collection of Tolkien and Inklings essays that will honor David Oberhelman, who passed away in January 2018. He was a longtime steward of that organization (he coordinated their annual awards) and once a prolific contributor here under the names "drogo drogo" until 2007 and then just "drogo" on the new forums. I gather that they're in the process of editing the submissions now and will publish late this year or early next year.

How amazing of them to do that. Please do keep us posted. It would be such a fitting tribute to link to that here. Thanks for letting us know about this NEB.
