(???? -- )
Mary Corinne Gray Russell was a Los Angeles fan who was known as Patti or Pogo. She was a cousin of Myrtle R. Douglas (Morojo), the girlfriend of Forrest J Ackerman. She married Russell M. Wood.
Gray was one of the charter members of The National Fantasy Fan Federation and with Russ Wood, in 1942 she was one of the founders of the Harbor Fantasy League, a groups of fannish couples in the LA area. She published STF-ETTE, and also Fan-Damn with Russ Wood. She was heavily involved in FooFoo and was thus, of course, an anti-Ghughuist.
Her photos appear on pages 135 and 248 of Harry Warner's history of fandom, All Our Yesterdays.
She was the subject of a Founding Members article by Jon D. Swartz in the March 2016 National Fantasy Fan. Her photo was included in the article.
