In 1970 I meet Chester D Cuthbert and he introduced me to SF fandom. Back when he was a younger guy he wrote a couple of stories that got published in Wonder Stories. The Last Shine was published in the same issue as Stanley Weinbaum's A Martian Odyssey. Chester didn't get paid and he later joined a group of writers that sued editor Hugo Gernsbach for their cash. At some point he passed along a pile of pages from Wonder Stories that had his two stories in it. They were stapled together with hand made staples. It's so old and brittle that I took it apart and scanned the pages with Chester's stories on them. I haven't read them in more than 30 years so it will be nice to read them again. Chester was pretty much a big A Merritt fan and his stories have that feel to them.

I'm doing fine Ray, thanks for asking. Sorry it took so long to post this comment. It went into the spam file and so little goes in there I don't look that often.
