(????–)
Belle Wyman was likely the first fan brought into the microcosm by a grandchild. Forry Ackerman’s grandmother, she attended LASFL/LASFS events in the 1930s and ’40s, as well as locced fanzines.
She’s listed among “Scientifictionists” in the 1939 Nycon program book and the “Fantasy Fictioneers” in the 1940 Chicon program book.
She was married to architect George H. Wyman, who designed L.A.’s famed Bradbury building, reportedly much influenced by a futuristic structure described in Edward Bellamy’s science fiction novel and social commentary, Looking Backward: From 2000–1887. The Wymans were serious Spiritualists.
