Dave & Pam MacInnes were his servants, both Canadian born, though living in the States while putting out NECROMANCER circa 1947. All three were present at Torcon 1 in 1948. Leslie A. Croutch was so smitten at the sight of Pam he offered to trade Dave five mint copies of the first issue of ASTOUNDING for her.
