I was one of the old booth minions at Gen Con and Origins. Show up Wednesday late afternoon and set the booth. Remind Charlie that 'Greg had to have his office'. Greg had to have a little table and two or three chair in the back of the booth where he hold court. I would usually run the till, hand backpacks to our talent, Sandy or Ken Hite. I brought water and snacks. In exchange, I got Cbaosium swag and other gaming swag on Sunday. When the show closed, we struck the booth, did inventory, and packed everything up that evening "We" Chaosium staff, booth minion’s artists, writers, guests and family would sit down for a big meal, usually at Maders. Greg would talk how all a family were and how much he loved us. I felt that I roomed with him several times and just enjoyed the quiet time where he shared his thoughts and time.
Chaosium party at show became the Elder Party Nominating Convention another things. In 1997, Greg invited me to help preach at the Chaosium's Devial. Yea there was preaching and other vile things. We were going to sacrifice Peter Adkison to Cthulhu but...he was not evil enough. Greg said one thing that I think sums up his life "no spectator’s only participants".
