Sidonie Rogers

Alva and Sid Rogers at Baycon in 1968.

(August 8, 1923 – November 21, 1975)

Sid Rogers (née Sidonie Margaret Rees), a Bay Area fan, was active in Little Men and the Golden Gate Futurians. She was not so much an sf fan as a “fan of fans,” according to Al Halevy.

A former newspaper reporter, she was married to Alva Rogers, whom she wed in 1947. She wrote about their wedding and early years together for Rhodomagnetic Digest 22, (July 1962). They had three children and divorced in 1971.

Along with Alva, she was involved in the Breendoggle controversy, trying to ban pederast Walter Breen from Pacificon II, the 1964 Worldcon; Breen called her one of the Three Big Bitches of Fandom.
