11/05/2011 - Necon is saddened to announce the passing of Necon regular Les Daniels. Les passed away this week. He was Necon's first Toastmaster, second Guest of Honor, Hall of Fame Member and perennial Game Show Champion who attended every Necon until he fell ill last year. He will be sorely missed.
