(???? – December 1952)

Ron H. Greaves was a UK fan from Birmingham active in the 1940s and early 1950s. He was a member of the Science Fantasy Society (SFS), the British Fantasy Library (BFL) and Operation Fantast.

In a February 1953 Operation Fantast mailing Ken Slater reported that

Ron H.Greaves ... was killed in a motor cycle accident late in December.

Mr. Greaves had been a member of OPERATION FANTAST since 1948, and a member of the British Fantasy Library for approximately the same period. He was well known to the older fans, especially those of the '48–'50 period. In his last letter to us he was rejoicing over the long delayed but finally accomplished formation of a club in Birmingham[1] – and regretting he had not been able to attend due to his work.
