Condition: Very good. February 11, 1966., 1966. Very good. - Over 60 words typed on his 3-1/4 inch high by 5-1/2 inch wide personal postcard with his name printed along the top. Lloyd Biggle, Jr. writes to apologize to Reginald Bretnor for the oversight, "You joined at the moment when Damon had just stopped being 'everything' to become President and the Secretary-Treasurer hadn't yet found out what was going on." Signed "Lloyd". There is a minor smudge, else very good. The American musician, author, and oral historian Lloyd Biggle, Jr. (1923-2002) was highly regarded in science fiction circles as the author who introduced aesthetic into literature known for scientific and technical complications. His work often used musical and artistic themes and his novel "The Tunesmith" was highly influential in the life of science fiction novelist Orson Scott Card as well as songwriter Jimmy Webb. Biggle's science fiction characters included the matter-transmission, trouble-shooting team of Jan Darzek and Effie Schlupe. Biggle was the founding sevretary-treasurer of the Science Fiction Writers of America. Born Alfred Reginald Kahn, the Russian-American science fiction writer Reginald Bretnor (1911-1992) wrote numerous short stories, many of which featured a whimsical story line or ironic plot twist, as well as volumes on military theory and public affairs. His collection of short stories titled "Through Time and Space with Ferdinand Feghoot", published under the pseudonym of Grendel Briarton, gave birth to the humorous story pun which came to be called a "Feghoot". The stories were originally published in Fantasy and Science Fiction for 1956 through 1973 and, in 1973, the magazine ran a contest soliciting "Feghoots" from its readers and writers.
