Interview with Patz
Carol Ruth Weber: What inspired you to start Eternal Con and Wintercon?
Frank Patz: I did it out of necessity. My dad passed away and I had to move to Long Island to take care of his dogs. I liked to do conventions. It was always my dream to start and run a convention. When I had the funds we did the first Eternal Con and it was a big success. So, from there we went on to do Wintercon.
