He became a fan in the mid-'50s, in the UK.  Won TAFF in 1958, which is
how I met him.  He rode back to the east coast from the Worldcon in Los
Angeles in Bob Pavlat's car (just to tie this a bit closer to WSFA),
with Sylvia Dees and me.  (A couple months later Sylvia and I got
married.)  Put out a newszine called SKYRACK at one point.  Hasn't been
very active in recent times -- but he *was* published in the Lynches'
MIMOSA.
