Third Foundation

Third Foundation was a fanzine published by Lee Klingstein, then by Lee Gold and Barry Gold, from 1967-1970. The first issue was #76 (there must be a story behind that), and the last issue is #95.

Lee (Klingstein) Gold says "I found organized SF fandom in 1967 at Westercon XX", including filking, then "A month later I attended my first LASFS meeting with copies for sale of The Third Foundation #76 (the fanzine's first issue), containing my first filksong: Oh, What a Beautiful Martian. One of the LASFSians who sang it that night was a fellow named Barry Gold, whom I married two years later."
