Another arrival on the December 1943 scene was Jules Lazar, a hefty young Jewish boy from Boston and the Strangers' Club. He was tall, heavily built, and strong as a bull. He did not fit very well into the club, being prone to take offense where none was intended, and through being essentially uninterested in fandom, yet just enough intorverted so that he found difficulty in staying away from the easy associations of the club. I always rather liked Jules until his tendency to shove people around after a couple of drinks became too pronounced. Since he was only 16 or 17 at the time he was in LA, I have little doubt but what he has grown into a pretty nice fellow. Certainly there was room for improvement.
He appears to have married three times:
- 1952, in Boston
- 1968, in Manhattan, to Gerda Pastor
- 1986, in Teaneck, New Jersey, to Gloria Barry
He was married to Gloria when he passed away.
