Linda Wyatt

Retired accountant, part-time tax accountant, former masquerade director
MillenniCon
Participates in 5 items
Since she began attending conventions in 1979, Linda has enjoyed masquerades. This has lead to her working with, and eventually running, masquerades. She has been the Masquerade Director for RiverCon(1991-2000) and MillenniCon (2007-2015). She was also the Assistant Masquerade Director for the 1992 WorldCon Masquerade. She is an amateur costumer (very amateur). She enjoys science fiction and fantasy in all forms, but especially in the visual form. She also likes suspense and non-gory horror. Being a tax accountant every year is enough horror for her. Since she retired, she travels frequently, and is able to attend a number of conventions a year throughout the U.S, Canada, and Europe. Less so this year due to the whole stay-at-home thing. She is a technology enthusiast, and loves to experiment with new forms of information and communication gathering and dispersal.
