Re: "doing various volunteer things at conventions"

Kevin, along with his wife Laurel Krahn, revived the Minn-StF fallcon (relaxacon) when they co-chaired Convivial from 2006 through 2009.

Kevin ran the Volunteers department for Minicon 41 in 2006 & for Minicon 42 in 2007.

Kevin ran the Gaming department for Minicon 43 in 2008 and for Minicon 44 in 2009.

Kevin was a co-chair of Minicon 45 in 2010.

Kevin was a co-chair of Minicon 46 in 2011.

Kevin was a subhead for the consuite for Minicon 47 in 2012.

Kevin was on the code of conduct committee for Minicon 49 in 2014.

If Laurel recalls correctly, Kevin may have served on the Minn-StF Board while he took time off from working in any major roles at Minicon. She isn't sure. Maybe he just needed a break (he did feel strongly that people shouldn't both be in charge of Minicon and on the board at the same time).

Kevin was vice chair of Minicon 53 in 2018.

Kevin was co-chair of Minicon 54 in 2019.

He stopped attending Minicon when the pandemic hit and when Minicon resumed he didn't feel they were taking enough precautions to keep members at high risk (like himself) safe so he stopped attending, ending a streak that ran from 1983 through 2019.
