(???? – )
Alex Morrison was a fan from Ayreshire in Scotland active in the 1950s and into the 1960s. He maintained a library of pocketbooks andmagazines for UK members of Operation Fantast[1] and attended the Coroncon in 1953.
In a letter to Post War (Winter 1952) he queried the 'Belfast "friends"' of Science Fantasy News and asked 'Must you give so much space to their letters instead of ordinary fen, or are you running an advertising camapign to sell more copies of Slant over here (there's a thought).' In his response, Vin¢ Clarke said, 'What are these "ordinary fen"? Why, they're the 80% who never write in to a pro' or fan 'zine.'
He is listed in Ron Bennett's Directory of Science Fiction Fandom for 1960 but not for 1961.
