Baltimore in '71
A bid to hold the 1971 Worldcon in Baltimore, MD announced in late 1968. It was organized by Jack Chalker and seems to have been run by MASF.
It had disappeared before the vote and did not appear on the ballot. It is unclear what relationship, if any, it had to Washington in '71 which was on the ballot.
The committee, according to one flyer, was Jack Chalker, Ed Krieg, Mike Hakulin, Pat Kelly, Don & Debbie Sobwick, Kim Weston, Steve Naron, Paul Price, and Rick Shanklin. At the end of 1968, Chalker was chairman, Weston was vice-chair, and Hakulin was Secretary-Treasurer.
Chalker wrote "Meetings have been sort of weird, usually in several different places in a single night, and going from about 8 P.M. to 8 A.M. Weird..." You can say that again...
