4 AMONG OUR MEMS [Signed L Bruce Jerts] -- gay young Yorke, tousled chestnut haired, stocky, bespectacled, was born 17 Apr 22 in Great Falls/Mont -- but Life Began for him with the 35 Apr Ast. He thinks Ast has degenerated but perhaps Campbell can pull it up. AmS best in his opinion. TWS 2d. No use for Weird. Thinks that variants (pronounced var-eye-ants) "utter drivel". Theme-preferences: Science-adventure & interplanetary. Used to think "van Lorne" was good -- "but found out who he was." Avid air fan -- but never been near an aeroplane. Reads 15 mags per month! Intends to be a writer, journalist. Already edits school paper. And sports 2 pseudonyms! Disgusted with human race, believes "benevolent Dictatorship better than bungling Democracy." His pick for the greatest pic of all time: THINGS TO COME. Another Atheist. Makes funny noises on a saxophone; also funny noises with mouth, said to be French. Always up in the air (the aviation influence?) about Ackermanese; but "very much interested in Esperanto." ----------------------------------- [Signed Percy L. Lewis.] One of the chapter's early members, became enmeshed in our complex material existence during the early part of the twentieth century in El Paso, Texas. He soon tired of cowboy life, however, and at the mature age of one month he packed his tri-cornered trousers and journeyed westward. At the age of eight months, and after making an intensive survey into the climatic, business, political, and housing conditions of the western states, he finally decided to settle down in Southern California. True, he admits, the dew was found rather unusual; but this offered no really serious obstacle since he was very fond of swimming. Excepting numerous self propelled excursions into the Pacific, he has never since been without the boundaries of the state. He hopes to break from his 'hermitage' in 1939 for the S-F Convention in New York, however: "Wants to be around when Wolheim and Ackerman meet," says he with a satanic gleam in his eye. This tall, blond, usually serious visaged individual, has a colossal capacity for unleashed laughter, upon occasions. Asserts he began the perusing of scientific fiction in magazine form back in 1929; ceased reading it sometime near '32, and has since been assimilating pseudo-scientific fiction in, strangely enough, the same periodicals. His files of s-f magazines are fairly complete, lacking a comparative few of the rarer numbers. Declares he doesn't know why he collects the current "science fiction" pulps. Pet peeve is the lack of science in science-fiction. Likes the writings of some WF authors, Lovecraft in particular. Thinks Ackermanese the most dangerous contagious disease in existence. Is the most active crusader against the Ackermanical simp. spelling in chapter organ. Despite the differences of opinion, he likes Forrie immensely -- though, at present, he's not quite sure it works vice versa. He has instigated too many recent revolts against the rule of Ackermanese in 'Madge'. (I love U, 2E; in evidence of which: Observ Ur biography utrly unaltrd -- even paragraft as U prefer! -- 4E) Pacifist. Ambition: Censored, on second thought, at self-request.
