Obscurity Inutility

Harlan Stoehr, Potsdam and Sebeka.  Harlan Stoehr grew up on farms in southeastern Minnesota, attended grade school for six years, was trained as a professional killer by the U.S. Marine Corps, served in Korea, later entered the University of Minnesota on probation, stayed on after graduate school for a time doing professoring, then had a string of other jobs including vice president in a regional bank, senior vice president in a Minneapolis advertising agency and CEO of a small marketing firm. Long since retired, he occasionally does a little editing and writing. His second-greatest lifetime achievement (the first was marrying Marlene) was to win a division of the Wisconsin State Fair Rooster-Crowing Contest with a borrowed rooster.

Willis Quick (aka Elron Naismith, Jr.) Cowboys & Aliens, Or, Who Put the B.E.M.s On the Range?  WQ bolstered our first issue with his whiz-bang story of a failed bank job, and we plan to run a vestpocket biography of this grizzled Grub Street veteran someday.

E.E. "Doc" Smith ("Skylark"), "124C41+" , is the nom de keyboard of a writer who just won’t tell his right name, no matter how you beg and plead.  He has taken the rightful name of an early s-f master (and his most famous character), as if to taunt us with his creds in the Twlight Zone of another galaxy far, far away.  Well, good luck to him and Darth Vader, we say!  Wookies!

Fester Gallupi , Klassic Books for Feeble Folk, is best known as a food correspondent for Jane’s World Aircraft Annual, but he has also worked as a stringer for the Paris Herald-Tribune, Grit and the Akron Iron Bee.  He is currently writing an unauthorized biography of Helena Worfall Biggerstaff, the “Sweet Singer of Ashtabula.”
