(???? – )
Mary Corinne “Patti” Gray (later Wood) was a Los Angeles fan frequently called by the Esperanto nickname Pogo. She and her cousin Morojo (Myrtle R. Douglas) were avid Esperantists.
Pogo was one of the charter members of The National Fantasy Fan Federation. With her husband, Russ Wood, in 1942, she was one of the founders of the Harbor Fantasy League, a group of fannish couples in the LA area. Together, she and Russ were nicknamed Pogorus, also the name of their fanzine.
She published STF-ETTE, the first feminist fanzine, and, with Russ, Fan-Damn. She was heavily involved in FooFoo and was thus, of course, an anti-Ghughuist.
She was ardently pursued by the fanboys of the period. See “In Defense of Pogo.”
In 1942, she had a feud with Forry Ackerman, about which he pubbed The War Lock in FAPA 21.
