A fan who went to school in Oberlin, OH before moving to Cambridge, MA getting a PhD in astronomy under Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin from Harvard in 1962 and went on to a career in astronomy. He was married to fellow fan Jean Young and were jointly known under the demolishism "J&Y" ("Jandy"). He was bearded in a time when beards were scarce (see also Poo).
