G-fandom has lost a good fan and friend.
Doug Pelton, who was a regular fixture at G-FEST conventions has passed away. He was a nice guy and I enjoyed talking kaiju movies with him at the conventions over the years.

I'm very sad to report that our good friend and indefatigable G-fan Doug Pelton has passed on after brief hospital stay following a fall. Cause of death was cardiac arrest. Doug was a fixture at G-FEST every year until recently, when mobility issues got the better of him, and he was an active participant in Godzilla fandom for many years before G-FAN and G-FEST began. My family was very fond of him and he and Ruth kept up a regular correspondence via Facebook. We and many other G-fans and his friends will miss him greatly. Rest in Peace, Doug.

Rest in peace, Doug!
Oh, God. God, god god. I just discovered that my good and glorious, my 2nd Anderson Ally and finest friend given to me in 1984, "DOUGZILLA " Doug Pelton , has passed away after a fall. Doug and I were absolutely best friends, and spent much time, both writing letters and talking and geeking, and now...the man is gone. Rest in Peace, Douglas. Doktor G'Hul weeps for you.
