The highlight of the evening came as they were wrapping up the ceremony. The house manager came forward and said that A.E. Van Vogt's granddaughter had driven 25 straight hours to be there and then they brought her to the stage. The Retro Hugo Award for Slan (Best Novel category) was brought back out and presented to Charlene Piper in an emotional moment. I spoke with her during the group photo after the awards and learned that she had driven from Idaho and literally walked into the room after the winner's name was announced.
