| − | Joseph Harold (Harry) Dockweiler was "tall skinny" man who was a member of the [[New York]] [[Futurians]], and married [[Rosalind Cohen]], another [[Futurian]]. He shortened his name to '''Dirk Wylie''', at the suggestion of [[Doris Baumgardt]] ([[Leslie Perri]]), another [[Futurian]]. He was a charter member of the [[CPASF]]. He published early [[fanzines]] including ''[[Fantasy Mirror]]'' (some under the [[Ego-Coop]] [[publishing house]]), and was ''the'' [[Ghuist]] [[saint]]. He and [[Frederik Pohl]] (whom he met while a student at Brooklyn Technical High School) pirated and operated [[Shaggoth 6]] and he had a car named [[Baby]]. He attended the [[Second Eastern]] and was a member of the [[Brooklyn SFL]]. He was one of the earlier casualties of the wars (see [[X Document]]) which effectively ended the [[Futurians]].

| − | Later he published [[SF]] in [[pulp]] magazines such as ''[[Super Science Stories]]'', ''[[Planet Stories]]'', ''[[Thrilling Wonder Stories]]'', and ''[[Astonishing Stories]]''. Most of his published fiction was with [[Frederik Pohl]] and [[Cyril Kornbluth]] as co-authors. He wrote at least one [[SF]] story with [[Frederick Arnold Kummer, Jr.]], "When Time Went Mad." Dockweiler also used the [[pseudonyms]] of Paul Dennis Lavond and Elliott Whitney.

| − | He served in [[WWII]], and set up a literary agency ([[Dirk Wylie Literary Agents]]) after the [[War]], with the help of [[Frederik Pohl]]. He and [[Pohl]] had gone to school together before joining the [[Futurians]]. Dockweiler died in 1948 of tuberculosis of the spine, believed to have been a consequence of his fighting in the Battle of the Bulge. His widow wanted to continue the agency, and did so with [[Pohl]] as her partner.
