In Nov. 1943 I found the name of a TWS reader, Hugh Hinchliffe, in Palm Beach, Fla., so Ir wrote him and arranged to visit him one weekend. Since then I've visited some 30 or 40 fans in various parts of the country and have become an active member of the NFFF. (Incidently, I'm running for secretary-treasurer and would appreciate any support.) When stationed at Las Vegas Nevada, last year I visited LA three times, taking in such places as the clubroom, Slan Shack Tendril Towers and 4e's garage, as well as the usual sights of Hollywood. While there I solved a mystery that had been bothering me for years. Back in 1936 I had an ad in Amazing to sell some old mags and fellow called me up one night when I was busy. I never heard from him again but on meeting Elmer Perdue in La, I found he had been attending school in Laramie and had called me. I still don't know why he didn't call again. While in Florida, I was thumbing through Who's Who in America one night and, on seeing that in the old time author, A. Hyatt Verrill lived at Chiefland, Fla. I decided to visit him on a 3-day pass. I wrote him and he said he would be glad to see me any time. I got the necessary form seven and started out hitchhiking the 200 miles one day. I also took in Silver Springs at Ocala, so I didn't arrive until the after noon of the second day. I stayed until noon the next day. Chiefland is a small place of two or three hundred people, mostly Indians. Mr. Verrill lived about a mile from town in a small house built by himself right in the thick of the live
