Photos from the Life of

Kent Moomaw

 

Kent at his trusty Royal typewriter High school photo

 

  I thought that I had more photos, but apparently what I have at present are negatives and a contact sheet of other pictures. So after I get prints made, more will be uploaded here. This, by the way, is my brother, whose pen I talk about over on this other page. Kent was fairly well-known in SF fandom back in the 1950's. His sudden death, ruled a suicide, in 1958 at the age of 18 was a shock to all.
