Vincent Williams[edit]

4e said "I intend to inform the LASFS of my discovery of this Negro fan, and ask if the club would have any objection to my inviting him to meetings... The Negro servifan’s name is Vincent Williams. He’s a LA reader. As a passifan, he's been reading omnivorously the past 3 years."

I assume from the lack of Google hits on site:fanac.org that Mr. Williams did not receive, or did not accept, any such invitation. And I'm not sure whether he might have been the same Vincent Williams who wrote "Tricks of the Trader" for Sparx 6, which might have been amusingly misdescribed as "a worthwhile piece on collector's swaps" (or that might have been another piece).

Does anyone else know anything about these fellows? — Bee Ostrowsky (talk) 11:56, 27 April 2023 (PDT)

No Vincent Williams listed among LASFS’s members, but that’s not definitive, as their early records are sketchy.
