TERRY & ANITA PACE'S FAMILY – FAMOUS MONSTER KIDS

I believe anybody who ever met TERRY & ANITA PACE at any of the many fan events they attended (usually with their kids), or who knows about the fabulous genre-related PILLAR OF FIRE theatrical events they produced in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, or has read any of the many genre-themed articles Terry wrote for the New York Times Co. newspaper he worked for (often reprinted all over the country), or any of the feature articles he wrote for fan publications, will understand that their induction to the Rondo Awards' MONSTER KID HALL OF FAME is long overdue.

Perhaps most significantly, they both loved our monstrously awesome world of fandom so much that they named their children after close friends and personal heroes who were genre giants (and godparents to their kids):

     FORREST  PHILLIPS  BRADBURY  PACE  *      and       ALEXANDRA  WRAY  O'BRIEN  PACE **

     * after  FORREST J ACKERMAN, Sun  Records  founder  SAM  PHILLIPS, and RAY BRADBURY

     ** after Ray Bradbury's youngest  daughter, actress FAY WRAY, and KING KONG animator WILLIS O'BRIEN
