Seems like we have very similar stories, patrickm, because my very first SG was the #44 issue from October of '88. I'd known about SG, The World of DS and Inside The Old House ever since flyers for them came with my copy of KLS' My Scrapbook Memories, which I'd immediately ordered after learning about it via an article about it the DS Files A 20th Anniversary Tribute edition, which a friend had amazingly come across at a Star Trek convention in '86. I've written about this before, but back then I was recording DS in syndication but I was resisting getting involved in fandom because I knew how DS had dominated my life back during its original run and I didn't want to get into things that deeply again. But after the syndication run ended in September of '88 I found myself going through DS withdrawal, and despite myself, before I knew it I was subscribing to SG, The World of DS and Inside The Old House. Though unlike how you began your relationship with Marcy through Kathleen, my experience was the other way around. I still have many letters from them packed away with my old SG and TWODS issues. One of these days I should dig them out and reread them because I suspect it would be a hoot...
As for giving in to getting back into fandom, well, it's pretty obvious how that worked out for me. But I'll always be grateful for those early years in fandom and Marcy's (and Kathleen's) friendship...
