STATE OF  WISCONSIN, CIRCUIT COURT, DANE  COUNTY 
in the Matter of the Petition of Randal Alain Kirsch for  a Change of Name 
to Randal Alain Everts. 
STATE OF  WISCONSIN 
55. 
COUNTY OF  DANE 
To the Circuit  Court of  Dane  County: 
The petition of Randal Alain Kirsch respectfully  shows: 
1. That your petitioner resides in the City of  Madison, Dane  County, 
Wisconsin and that he is  27 years of age. 
2. That he desires that his name be changed from Randal  Alain Kirsch to 
Randal Alain Everts. 
3. Such change is desired for the fallowing reasons,  to-wit: That the 
change will restore petitioner to his original name received  shortly after his 
birth. His natural father is Edward A. Everts and Randal's  name was changed 
in 1960 when he was adopted by Robert R. Kirsch who remarried  Randal's 
natural mother after her divorce from Edward A. Everts. By seeking this  
change, petitioner intends no disrespect to his stepfather, but simply prefers  to 
use the name given him by his natural father and mother. Your petitioner  
therefore prays that by an order of this Court his name be changed to Randal  
Alain Everts, by which he may hereafter be called and known.  
/s/Randal Alain Kirsch 
Randal Alain Kirsch, being first duly sworn, on oath  deposes and says that 
he is the petitioner in the above and foregoing petition,  that he has read 
the same and knows the contents thereof, and that the same Is  true to his 
own knowledge, except as to those matters therein stated on  information and 
belief, and as to such matters he believes them to be  true. 
/s/ Randal Alain Kirsch

WISDOM, Senior Circuit Judge. 
¶1 
This appeal presents the  question whether the district court erred in 
dismissing defendant Randal Alan  Kirsch's counterclaim against Brown University 
for libel.1 Brown University  published a "Notice to Bookmen" in several 
prominent bibliographic publications  stating, in effect, that Kirsch had 
solicited or accepted materials in the name  of Brown University without Brown's 
authorization, and that Kirsch had not  turned over this material to Brown 
University. On appeal, Kirsch alleges that  the district judge usurped the 
role of the jury in determining the defamatory  meaning of the Notice to 
Bookmen and that the district court erred in finding  there was no genuine issue 
as to any material fact concerning the truthfulness  of the Notice. We find 
no error in either determination and accordingly affirm.  ...

All I  know about R. Alain Everts, Aka Randy Everts is that he was active 
in  
fandom during the seventies and (I think) early eighties. He was,  
apparently, 
a mover and a shaker who managed to charm his way into having  access with 
a 
number of people who were important if not significant. An  example is 
Novalyne Price Ellis, one-time girlfriend of Robert E. Howard.  He 
contrived 
to interview her, and also enveigled some items from her  pertaining to 
Howard; I believe there was a photograph, along with maybe a  letter or 
two. 
Important stuff. Her private property. He was going to  duplicate for 
publication and then return. This never happened. He  apparently did this 
to 
several other luminaries in fandom before  disappearing completely. Efforts 
have been made to locate him over the  years, to no avail. I seem to recall 
he 
got tracked to Hawaii, but I can't  be certain. 

Good luck finding him. If you are looking for a secondary  source, you may 
be 
better off going straight to Bowling Green's library or  some other archive.
