DUM-DUM HISTORY
DATES ~ SITES ~ GUESTS OF HONOUR ~ HONOREES

In the early years the Burroughs Bibliophiles Dum-Dum was an annual luncheon meeting held in conjunction with the World Science Fiction Convention on the Saturday preceding Labor Day, excepting the times when the SF Convention was held overseas.
The Guests of Honor through the early years were each presented with "The Golden Lion Award" in appreciation for their contribution in keeping alive the works and characters and the spirit of Edgar Rice Burroughs. With each "Golden Lion" award went a lifetime membership in the Burroughs Bibliophiles.

The BBs is not the original ERB club. As early as 1916 there was the TRIBES OF TARZAN clubs and still later the Signal Oil Tarzan clubs and the TARZAN CLANS, etc. However, all of these were TARZAN clubs and most were commercal endeavours. The Burroughs Bibliophiles is a literary society dedicated to Edgar Rice Burroughs, and as such remains the first of its kind.

1984-1989 - [Bill Ross Notes] "There were no official Dum-Dums from 1984
            through 1989.  The supposed Atlanta Dum-Dum in 1986 was actually
            something 4E threw together to raise money for Vern.  There was no
            banquet or meeting.  1983 was the last Vern organized Dum-Dum and
            1990 was the first George McWhorter organized Dum-Dum."

1984 - [Huck notes] "I have a postcard from Vern saying there would be no
            Dum-Dum at the Worldcon (in Los Angeles that year) but that
            he would organize something later in the year.
            If he ever did, I didn't hear about it."
1985
1986 - August 31:  Atlanta, GA - organized by Forry Ackerman
1987 - Morgan City, LA ~Not actually a Burroughs Bibliophiles event.
            The city wanted to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the filming
            of "Tarzan of the Apes", but ERB Inc. demanded a $5,000 royalty
            and then shut the event down . . .
            after buttons were printed and the city had incurred other expenses.
            The celebration never occurred.

1988 - New Orleans, LA - [Huck Remembers] -"A group of about 20  went
            to a Cuban restaurant just outside the French Quarter for dinner.
            I believe Bill Ross found the place.  No GoH, no awards."
1989 - Boston - The nadir of the Dum-Dums.  Four showed up --
            Cole Richardson, Larry Burrows, Joe Wilcoxen, and Huck.
            [Huck remembers:] "The only time they would give us a room was
            at the same time as the First Fandom meeting, and
            then they refused to publicize it in the daily bulletin.  I made up
            signs and posted them around the Con but it wasn't enough."
1990  Aug. 30-Sept. 2: Dum-Dum is reinstated by George McWhorter ~ Burne Hogarth & Danton Burroughs
            Louisville, KY - The Galt House -  [Huck remembers:] - "Burne Hogarth
            (who spoke at least as long as he did in '92), Denny Miller, Russ Cochran,
            Sammy the baby Gorilla (who pretended to be a wind-up toy when
            hotel staff were around).  The ill-fated Tierra del Fuego Expedition
            (going back from the university to the Galt House, our carload got
            headed the wrong way and drove about 5 miles without seeing a
            familiar sight, until finally I said, 'Shouldn't the sun be on the
            OTHER side of the car?')  Denny can confirm; he was in the same carload."
