(???? – )

Mr Solibakke was a fan from Poulsbro, Washington active in the 1950s. He attended the Coroncon in London in 1953 with his wife, Louise Solibakke.

Interestingly, Fantasy Times #179 (June 1953) notes American attendees at the Coroncon including, 'Mr. Sollibakke [sic] and his family (NFFF)' but the name listed in The National Fantasy Fan for February 1952 and April 1952 is Louise Solibakke and Louise is almost always a female forename. Further, in his report on Coroncon in Hyphen #4 (October 1953), Walt Willis said, 'Carnell ... made a belated introduction of another visitor from America, a Mrs. Sollieback [sic] of Seattle' who was 'Carnell revealed, a member of N3F'.

It's therefore possible that Solibakke is a rare example of a non-fan man attending a convention with a fannish wife.
