I have red hair and hazel eyes, and do my space travelling by wheelchair due to Arthritis which I’ve had since I was eight. Got through two years of high school when the chair caught up with me, but have always been thankful that I made it through school. Discovered fandom in 1956 and havn’t come out of my daze yet. I joined N3F and sure have been glad I did. It's opened up a whole new wonderful world for me, and I’ve met more wonderful people!...I’m sort of floundering my way through getting used to using a typer. My hands are pretty out of shape and I use two pencils and beat away at the keys with the eraser ends.
