Groff Conklin
Attended Dartmouth, 2 years, and then
Harvard and Columbia to get his BA in 1927. After the Depression hit
Conklin moved between day jobs almost annually and then continued the
process in WW2, working for one government agency after another. The
last job Groff held was as science editor for The American Heritage
Dictionary.
Although skilled as a writer, Conklin did that continually in his
various jobs...so his interest in SF as an escape and financial hobby,
led him into editing. Groff compiled some of the most outstanding
anthologies of the 1950s if not of all time. During that decade, Groff was the
anthologist with 40 titles of science fiction.

A. Bertram Chandler
Author of many books dealing with worlds on the edge of the
galaxy connected by naval type space fleets. Lots of solo
stories but two structures recurred: (1) The
Commander Grimes novels (space Hornblowers), and, (2) The
Rim World series. These series overlap sometimes and aren't connected
at all occasionally. (And its sort of fun to see communications on board
star ships done by sending paper thru pneumatic tubes and sextants still
in use.)
Chandler was an officer in the merchant navies of England, New
Zealand, and Australia and spent many, many long, tedious, boring,
and dangerous hours at sea. His SF writing allowed escape on a grand
scale and freedom from naval restrictions. However, Chandler wrote
about what he understood and the structures of his worlds conformed
to naval call and response. His first US work was for Astounding SF in
the 1940s, but under the Whittley pen name.

"Lester" Del Rey
Lester lost his mother shortly after his birth and that
may account for his critical attitude as a reviewer, editor and writer
. Del Rey kept controversy attached to himself as though it were a
shadow. Lester struggled with education in the depression years,
finally pulling himself up, one stumbling step after another.
While he had limited success at attempting to be an author, he
was able to land a job with the prestigious Scott Meredith literary
agency in the late 1940s. After working there for three years, Lester had
learned enough of the literary lay of the land to branch out on his
own as a career writer by 1950.
Del Rey worked as assistant editor, and sometimes editor, of pulps
like Space Science Fiction, Fantasy Magazine, Rocket Stories, &
Science Fiction Adventures, among others. Lester wrote features
for the sister magazines of Galaxy & Worlds of If.
He wrote
reviews for Astounding.
Lester's marriages were several and unfortunate: the first two
ended in divorce, his third wife Evelyn was killed in a car wreck,
and his fourth marriage to Judy-Lynn Benjamin ended with her death
in 1986. Judy-Lynn, however, brought a unique set of editing skills
to the team and together, they built Ballantine Books' fantasy and
science fiction line, already respectable, into a power house, and
eventually acquired it as Del Rey Books.
In the final months before his death, Del Rey, whose vision was
never the best, became reclusive and seldom left his Manhattan
apartment. He died mid-afternoon in New York City Hospital after
being admitted a week prior for cardiac care.

August Derleth
A graduate of the University of Wisconsin. In 1939,
founded Arkham House with Donald Wandrei in Sauk
City, WI. Science Fiction and Fantasy were parts of the Derleth career,
but not the dominant ones. Mystery and horror stories dominated.
Which was the primary focus of Arkham House. However, Derleth
published and thereby saved the works of H. P. Lovecraft from
oblivion and encouraged writers with that type of fantasy bent of
mind. His total output of over 100 books would not be eclipsed until
Asimov.
Derleth lived out his very productive life in Sauk City. (As Lovecraft
stayed in Providence, RI all of his life. There may be a
connection between the great fantasy writers living in one place as
security while their minds wander without limit to the ends of their
imaginations. A certain link to reality that they can walk outside
and restore. GCW)

Gerald Kersh
Became a novelist in the 1930s, his third book, Night and the
City, made him famous. WW2 imposed itself and Kersh became a
member of the Coldstream Guard, having both of his legs broken by
a German bomb that landed nearby in a London street.
An earlier fling into wrestling served him well, as Kersh was
something of a barroom brawler. He enjoyed tearing telephone books
in two, opening beer bottles with his fingernails, and bending dimes
with his teeth. Kirsh was also given to staying up all night drinking
and playing poker, then cleaning up and continuing the next day
without sleep.
Kersh continued to write during the war and had
4 novels on the best seller list from 1940 to 45. After the war and
with over 20 novels under his belt, Kersh wrote a masterpiece,
Fowler's End.
WW2 had left Kersh restless and he wandered most of the world,
eventually landing in America where he became a citizen of the USA
and took up residence in Cragsmoor, New York, amid the Shawangunk
Mountains. In an interview, Kersh estimated that he had written
over 5,000 articles, stories, and books.
"THERE ARE MEN WHOM ONE HATES UNTIL THERE COMES A DAY WHEN,
THROUGH A CHINK IN THEIR ARMOR, YOU SEE SOMETHING NAILED DOWN AND

A great science fiction and fantasy writer whose
shortened life nearly parallels Kornbluth's. Kuttner wrote continuously
for nearly two decades before becoming burned out. He took that opportunity
to use the GI Bill and acquire a college education at the University of
California. The move from New York back to California was motivated primarily
by an urge to be near movie and television markets, an area both Kuttners were entering
when Henry died. C. L. Moore continued alone and wrote no more SF.
Kuttner was noted for The Fairy Chessmen, Ahead of Time and
Tomorrow and Tomorrow.
Kuttner had a psychic vision of his own death and wrote
about it 10 years prior to the event in which he called the name
"enri utner" and year. Henry had another vision the night before he died of a heart attack.

Awarded:
C. S. Lewis
Served in WW1 as a member of the British Army's Somerset Light
Infantry, where Lewis was a second lieutenant, and had the nickname, "Jack."
Wounded in the back, Lewis wryly commented, "Oddly enough, by a British
shell."
Noted as a
prolific mainstream writer with Christian/religious themes. Friend and
associate of J.R.R.Tolkien. Taught at Magdalen College at Oxford and
later went to work for Cambridge as professor of Medieval and Renaissance
English. An intellectual's intellectual, whose works are widely studied.
Influenced by the works of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, Lewis was finally
inspired to write SF by the works of Olaf Stapledon. "The idea of other
planets exercised upon me a peculiar, heady attraction, which was quite different
from any other of my literary intersts. That interest, when the fit was upon me,
was ravenous, like a lust..." Lewis's Fantasy & Science Fiction work
basically divides into three
areas: (1) Children's stories, (2) a Martian SF trilogy, and (3) a series of short stories.
Many of the last were published in America's Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Lewis's favorite American pulp.
The seven children's novels, known as "The Chronicles or Narnia," are recommended
by their author to be read in the following order: (1)The Magician's Nephew, (2) The Lion,
The Witch, and the Wardrobe; (3) The Horse And Its Boy; (4) Prince Caspian; (5) The
Voyage of the 'Dawn Treader'; (6) The Silver Chair; and (7) The Last Battle.
The titles of Lewis's 'Ransom Science Fiction Trilogy' are: (1) Out of the Silent Planet;
(2) Perelandra; and (3)That Hideous Strength.
Impacted by the horrible events of WW2, Lewis said that it was a terrible
thing to live in a "post-civilized world."

Frank Belknap Long
Attended New York University in 1920-21, but influenced by an early friendship with
H. P. Lovecraft, Long opted to forego formal education and become a
free-lance writer. The resulting career would span 60 years and heavily influence
that body of fiction which floats above the three legged stool of
Fantasy, Horror, and Science Fiction.
Long's early arrival on the scene and his attachment to, what would become,
a legendary figure in H. P. Lovecraft, prompted Jeff Elliot, in an
interview for Fantasy Newsletter, to ask about Long's pivotal
position: Frank answered, "If, in your youth, you devote all of your creative energies
to a still largely unplowed field, you'll reshape it to some extent,
and, occasionally, here and there, if you're very lucky, to a 'pivotal
extent."

Edgar Pangborn
Attended Harvard for a couple of years and
tried the New England Conservatory of Music, but then struggled
through the Depression. Was in the US Army from 1942 until 1946 in
the Pacific. After the war, Pangborn followed writing as a career.
Pangborn was primarily a broad mainstream writer, working in many fields.
His first published work started in 1930 and Edgar only began SF in 1951 with
the publication of "Angel's Egg" for Galaxy. Pangborn's first
SF novel came in 1953, West of the Sun. After 1954's Mirror for
Observers, Edgar wandered away from SF for a decade, returning in
1964 with Davy, a post nuclear story. Pangborn became fascinated by the
Man's possible variations for recovery from a nuclear disaster and wrote
several short stories on this theme, all holding to a common projected
history (what we now call a thread). The last Pangborn novel, 1975's The
Companion of Glory, held to this struggle to survive plot. The short works were
gathered together by editor Roger Elwood in the Continuum series, 1974-5.

Russell was one of those writers who could touch your life

always got a laugh using the line that said, "I look like someone who
should have been hanged at Nuremberg." His letters were fun to read,
continually displaying his good natured genius and love of life. No
British SF writer was more readily accepted as American than Eric
Frank Russell. He was British to a fault but had a healthy disrespect
for everything, which could be a natural result of four years in the RAF.
Anyone who calls themself a SF fan, should have read

Olaf Stapledon
Stapledon received his education at Balliol College, Oxford

on philosophy and psychology. But from 1915 to 1919 he was on duty in
France with an ambulance unit. Olaf's first book of scientific fantasy
was published in 1931, Last and First Men. Important or
notable works that followed were Odd John in 1935, a story of
a mental super-human; then 1937's Star Maker, the great
Stapledon opus; and Sirius in 1944, with super mentality this
time given to a dog.
In 1948, two years before his death, Dr. Stapledon said, to a meeting
of the British Interplanetary Society, that man would probably tamper
with the atom until he destroyed himself. But, if he lived long enough
, man would have "a new freedom...the freedom to travel beyond the
terrestial atmosphere and explore the whole solar system."

Started in the field as one of John Campbell's writers but soon
expanded into a nationally known author.
Ted has been blamed for being the first to bring sex into Science Fiction
and praised with bringing love into SF...depending on your point of
view. Either way, he was ahead of his time. Sturgeon was one of those
intellects with an obsession for things sexual. As one of his hobbies,
Sturgeon played guitar and loved to perform bawdy songs, of which he had
an almost inexhaustable supply.
Sturgeon's personal papers and manuscripts were deposited in the archives
of the University of Kansas. Dr. James Gunn (the SF writer) created in 1987 the
Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award for short fiction that is presented annually by the
University of Kansas. This is one of a pair of awards, as the John W. Campbell
Award is also given for the novel form.
