Peggy Rae Sapienza

Peggy Rae Sapienza, (born McKnight, previously Pavlat, 28 June 1944 – 25 March 2015), was a second generation science fiction fan and a consummate con-runner and promoter of science fiction fandom. She made memorable contributions to Noreascon III in Boston, the 1989 Worldcon, partnering with Fred Isaacs in conceptualizing the ConCourse, a new feature for Worldcons. A Vice Chair of the 1993 Worldcon, ConFrancisco, she served briefly as Acting Chair after the Chairman died, until a new Chairman was appointed. In 1998 she chaired BucConeer, the 56th Worldcon in Baltimore. She served as North American agent for the first Worldcon to be held in Japan, Nippon 2007; in 2010 co-chaired, and 2011 and 2012 chaired the SFWA Nebula Awards® Weekends; and was Fan Guest of Honor at Chicon 7, the 70th Worldcon, held in 2012.[1] She co-chaired the 2014 World Fantasy Convention just months before she died due to complications from heart surgery.
