CouverCon '98 was different from most conventions in that the
principal cast were the "main event" on Sunday rather than Saturday.
Sunday's schedule included a brunch attended by the cast, producers and
guest stars of The Sentinel as well as a Question & Answer session
with Richard Burgi, Garett Maggart and Bruce A. Young. The Q&A
led into the charity auction with Richard, Garett and Bruce displaying
the items being auctioned as well as encouraging the bidders with dulcet
tones, sweet blandishment and a healthy dose of joking and goofing around.
Once the Q&A and Auction were finished, the guests took a short recess
before moving on to the autograph session.

LEFT: Richard stopped to answer a few questions
before joining his table at the Charity Brunch which preceded the Q&A
and auction. The cast of The Sentinel as well as many of the guest
stars at CouverCon were joined at their tables by fans who won a chance
to share a meal with the actors. Due to unforseen circumstances, Richard
was unable to make the start of the brunch, so Garett Maggart and
Anna Galvin joined those at Richard's table until he arrived.

the world as well as across the USA. Due to inflexible airline schedules,
several Con goers had to leave before the Sunday events got underway; Pam
Schuster and Daniela "Danny" Dohmen , from Germany,
were among them. When he learned of their situation, Richard made
a point of spending a few minutes with Pam and Danny before
they left.

ball while admiring Danny's hand-painted shirt, which she modeled
for him before giving him a similar shirt.
