The Crew of the Barque Lone Star was founded as a scion society of the Baker Street Irregulars in April 1970. Through the years, the society has been home for many authors of fiction, Sherlockian crit‐ icism, and other non-fiction pieces of work.
As we continue to celebrate our 50th anniversary of existence (extended indefinitely due to the Covid-19 Pandemic), it just seemed appropriate to have present members provide personal reflections on what Sherlock Holmes has meant to them throughout their lives (how they discovered Sherlock, what he has meant to them during the Pandemic, what Sherlockian friendships have been formed through the years).
