  This is also the place where you can view photos of the 2004 Muster of Piper Irregulars, a gathering of Piper fans in central Pennsylvania to celebrate the centennial of Beam's birth and the sixtieth anniversary of Calvin Morrison's paratemporal transposition to Hostigos.  The 2008 Muster (see Irregulars Tom, Dennis, Bill (foreground), John, David, Mike, and Fred at the Waffle Shop in State College) came two decades after the now defunct Penn State Science Fiction Society sponsored an H. Beam Piper convention in State College — where an annual science-fiction convention had long been named for Piper's Paratime — attended by Jerry Pournelle and John F. Carr.  The following year, Piper fan David Hines reported on the 2009 Muster.
