(February 4, 1923 -- September 9, 2007)

Roderick Ruskin Gaetz was a Vancouver-born fan whose family moved to Seattle a few months after his birth, and then to Westwood, New Jersey around 1934. He helped organized the Solaroids. In his mundane life he seems to have been an engineer; he was credited in 1971 as one of two inventors on a Canadian patent owned by Uniroyal.
