JOCO Con Has Landed

On Saturday, October 12, JCCC’s first Sci-Fi convention (in decades), materialized in the MTC. Around 100 people, both students and community, heard Roland Mann, a former editor from Marvel comics and current professor at Full Sail University, speak. JCCC English faculty Danny Alexander, Diane Davis, Maureen Fitzpatrick, Beth Gulley and Bob Sykora all participated as well. Oddly, co-directors of the event, David Davis and Doug Texter had no photos to prove that the event transpired, but a fuzzy image of Bigfoot in MTC 122 might be suggestive.
