(???? – ????)
Allen Class, a young fan from Ohio, attended Denvention, the 1941 Worldcon, hitchhiking all the way to Denver, arriving a month early and supporting himself with odd jobs until the con.
For his efforts, he won the $25 prize Comet Stories had promised before the con to the fan who overcame the greatest obstacles to attend Denvention. Unfortunately, Comet had ceased publication just before the con. So Robert Heinlein generously contributed the $25, and a committee of coast-to-coast fans named the winner at the banquet.
Denvention Two in 1981, in their effort to track down all the Denvention I members, reported Class dead, without saying how they knew.
