From what I\'ve read it dates back to 1930, but so does another New York fan club, the Science Correspondence Club (which is credited with publication of the first science fiction fanzine, The Comet).

It is hard to say precisely why, as I'd never heard of Julie previously, and as he evidently lived a long and happy life. Best to chalk it up to the sweetness of the subject and the deft and sensitive writing of Mr. Pohl. Thank you, Fred.
