Many hundreds of photos were taken of Terry and Anita Pace and their kids having a great time reuniting with old friends and making new ones among the scores of genre celebrities they met at fan conventions and other events over the years. The photos on this page only provide a rough idea of the good times they enjoyed at those events, but many of them plainly show that the genuine affection and love they had for all the people they met was freely and generously returned to them. |
