I am trying to find someone I knew in the Portland area about twenty years ago, and the usual searches aren’t turning her up. If you’ve been involved in sf fandom in the region - Orycon, Westercon etc. - you might know her.

Kris Hasson, later Kris Hasson Jones, might have gone on to Kai Jones… anyone?

Not me, but I know a guy in Portland who’s probably pretty connected. Want me to ping him and ask?

Please and thanks.

Note that I’ve asked the current Orycon chair with no luck.

I checked with my friend, but no luck. He said that some cons post their membership lists, but I don’t know if that would help you find where she is now.

I’m not comfortable using the boards to publicize a private person’s info and get help in tracking them down.
