Andy Young

(???? -- )

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).

He was one of the Balcony Insurgents, a member of FAPA and of the FATE Tape, and hero of one of the FAPA Blitzkriegs. He was briefly a member of the Boston Chapter of Campbell's IES (and attended its party celebrating Isaac Asimov's 40th birthday.)

He seems to have largely gafiated by 1960.
