Richard W. Dodson

(1915--2008)

Richard W. Dodson was a fan and American chemist who had a large correspondence with E. E. Smith (a fellow chemist.) He got his PhD at Johns Hopkins, worked on the Manhattan Project and was a professor at Columbia. Besides Smith, he corresponded with other pros (e.g., A. Merritt and Clark Ashton Smith) and with fans such as Allen Glasser and Julius Schwartz. His correspondence is now at the University of Idaho. Being distinctly older than most fans, he did not have much direct involvement with New York Fandom.
