"August 29 1899 January 26 1962 Ralph Merridette Holland an Ohio fan joined the N3F in 1950 and was president from 1958 until his death. He edited the clubzine The National Fantasy Fan and received the club's Kaymar Award. The N3F's Ralph M. Holland Award was named after him. He attended Worldcons. He wrote a book featuring a fantasy character called Ghu. As Rolf Telano he wrote A Spacewoman Speaks 1960. He adopted the alter ego of Rolf Telano because he was interested in paranormal phenomena and knew his interest in SF would cast doubt on anything he presented as fact in the paranormal field. Holland was born in Youngstown OH and lived there until his family moved to Akron in 1914. He received an engineering degree worked "in the plant" at the Akron Beacon Journal and later worked for B. G. Goodrich. He spent the last 40 years of his life in Cuyahoga Falls and had been employed by Vaughn Machinery Company there. His sister Dora Holland finished his uncompleted fanzines after his death." from the Magonia Archive . Ralph M. Holland paperback
