Anokon 2

Anokon 2 was a Minnstf fallcon held on 14–16 September 1979 at the Anoka Holiday Inn. It appears to have been chaired by Caryl Wixon, who was listed at the top of the concom list in the program book as "Emeritus (an obscure flightless bird related to the Dodo)".

Jim Young was listed in the same book as many kinds of GoH in absentia. The archivist can't, at this moment, say if his GoHness extended beyond that.
