Joy Goodwin
(1923 -- April 22, 2010)
Joy Goodwin Clarke Sanderson was a UK/US fan. She met Vin¢ Clarke in the mid-1950s, began an affair with him, divorced Goodwin, her second husband, and became Joy Clarke. Their house in Inchmery Road became the center of what was known as Inchmery Fandom.
She served as secretary for Loncon I. She was on the Cytricon II committee. She was a member of OMPA (publishing Lesser Flea), its OE in 1955-56, and in 1959 published Apathy, an index to the first 20 mailings.
In 1960, Joy deserted Clarke to move to the United States with Sandy Sanderson, a fan who was a lodger at their house. Clarke retained custody of their daughter, Nicki. The event was described by Clarke as a betrayal and he gafiated for more than 20 years as a result, after publishing an anguished farewell, Ex-Inchmery Fan Diary.
