Glen GoodKnight: 1941

Back in 2008, we held LionCon in California and one of the guest speakers we managed to host was Glen GoodKnight, founder of the Mythopoeic Society. He passed away Wednesday night, November 3rd.

Glen founded the Mythopoeic Society in 1967 to further the study of the writings of C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams and J.R.R. Tolkien. In 1970, he organized the first of the now famous Mythcon conventions, still going strong today. Glen was active in the Mythopoeic Society for over 30 years and edited 78 issues of the society’s journal, Mythlore.

Though we did not see eye to eye sometimes, our sincere condolences go out to to Glen’s family and friends.
