Bill Plott began his fannish journeys with southern fandom. Acquiring the moniker of The Traveling Fan, Bill traveled the south, seeking out and visiting other southern fen in his quest to find kindred spirits.
Among those visited was J. T. Oliver, a Georgian fan and one of the founders of the Atlanta Science Fiction Organization.
J. T. gifted Bill with a box full of photos that Bill has recently published in a one shot zine titled The J. T. Oliver Photo Collection. (The entire zine can be read at eFanzines.com).
Bill has kindly granted Amazing Stories permission to reproduce some of those images here. Kindly read Bill’s offering to obtain additional information about the people shown here: (Text excerpts and photos © copyright Bill Plott.)
Steve Davidson is the publisher of Amazing Stories.
Steve has been a passionate fan of science fiction since the mid-60s, before he even knew what it was called.
