For a little more on John Fantucchio, and on the others in the above photo:

A high ratio of those in the above convention room photo were Alley Award winners throughout the 1960's decade, in both the creative professional and fandom categories.

Fantucchio is well represented in just the RBCC covers I linked above, but it's interesting to see him as a part of the whole of what was going on in comics at the time for 1968 and 1969:

I like how Wikipedia now has a link to the events of each year in comics. This photo gives a face to all those milestones.
