Seth A. Johnson

(April 3, 1911 – March 11, 1969)

Seth Johnson was a longtime actifan living in New Jersey. He was a regular letterhack, active on the N3F Welcommittee and operated the N3F's Fanzine Clearing House. He placed ads in the back of prozines — “Discover fandom for $2” — and sent bundles of fanzines to protofen.

Bjo Trimble credits Johnson with pushing her to set up Project Art Show. He was a long-time member of ESFA, a member of the Federation of East and West, a member of the ISFCC and the ISFS, and published The Vaux Hall Fanatic in the early days of N'APA.

He was an enthusiast for round-robin letters and in 1961 reported that he'd launched over 130 of them in the previous five or so years.
