Paul Freehafer Middle name Robinson, 21 yr old fan, started to read stf in '32 Apr Ast, collect in '36. His file of the Big 3 is practically complete; has few bks, but most every Blue Bk back to '32 & Arg for past 12 yrs.

Has been corresponding since '36. In '34 Aug, SFL member #294; otherwise Paul Freehafer, at that time residing in Payette/Idaho; wrote 1st Class Active-Honorary #1, Executive Director FJAckerman, San Francisco/Cal: "I am making a collection of the autographs of famous science fiction authors and fans, and I would like very much to gt yours." Knowing him today, one would scarcely suspect him of ever having exhibited such a revolting abnormality of indiscriminative taste. However, it is not our desire to scandalize further our friend Freehafer, & so we shall hush up the "incident" quickly as we can: Perhaps the indiscretion could be condoned, considering it attributable to his extreme youth at that age...
