(June 9, 1927 – November 15, 2014)
Jules Louis Lazar was a member of LASFS and The Outsiders but resigned from both. He wrote a scandalous letter about a LASFS feud in Fantasy Fiction Field [165].[1] Of himself, he wrote in Rogues Gallery:
LAZAR, JULES L., born June 9, 1927, 5’ 11", 140 lbs., hair and eyes brown. First read stf in 1939; first contact with fandom was the result of a letter to RAP. Joined Stranger Club in June of 1941, and is now Sec-Treas-Librarian. Attended Boskone II. Assoc. Editor of Ceres and of Rogue's Gallery. Favorite authors; Taine, Keller, and Weinbaum; favorite promag; FFM.
Francis Towner Laney remembered him thus in Ah! Sweet Idiocy:
Another arrival on the December 1943 scene was Jules Lazar, a hefty young Jewish boy from Boston and the Strangers' Club. He was tall, heavily built, and strong as a bull. He did not fit very well into the club, being prone to take offense where none was intended, and through being essentially uninterested in fandom, yet just enough intorverted [sic] so that he found difficulty in staying away from the easy associations of the club. I always rather liked Jules until his tendency to shove people around after a couple of drinks became too pronounced. Since he was only 16 or 17 at the time he was in LA, I have little doubt but what he has grown into a pretty nice fellow. Certainly there was room for improvement.
He appears to have married three times:
- 1952, in Boston
- 1968, in Manhattan, to Gerda Pastor
- 1986, in Teaneck, New Jersey, to Gloria Barry
He was married to Gloria when he passed away.
- Ceres [1942]
