   • 1950 December, Lee Hoffman, “Chaos”, in Quandry‎, number 5, archived from the original on 9 October 2015, page 3:

     Fandom is a wonderful thing. We used to live in Florida ten years ago. Across the street lived a lad two years older than yed who had the most wonderful collection of comic books...all of a stf nature.

This morning we learned that he is a member of NFFF and TFSC. Naturally we got a letter off to him.
