John Ebinger, of Oakland, California, chaired the 1982 Winkie Convention.
He arranged for a nearly complete display of the entire run of THE BAUM
BUGLE. The display revealed how the magazine evolved from a simple
mimeographed group of pages to a sophisticated journal with handsome and
historically important full-color covers. An Oz Research Table to which
authors contributed essays, stories, and art was featured as well. Once
again Dick Rutter won the Winkie Costume Contest, this time as the
Braided Man as depicted in DOROTHY AND THE WIZARD IN OZ (1908). For the
first time a separate prize for a child's costume was awarded, to Zachary
Martinez who was an impressive, growling Cowardly Lion at about two and a
half feet tall! Peter Hanff presented a slide-illustrated history of the
development of the Oz Club and the Winkie Convention.
