Biography

Patricia Enid Loring Lupoff grew up in Manhattan, and met her future husband Richard A. (Dick) Lupoff, on a blind date in 1957; they were married in August, 1958. They later joined the (Second) Futurian Society of New York (which met in their apartment and which led to their appearance at Pittcon, the 1960 Worldcon, dressed as Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel). She helped to found the Fanoclasts and to run the (New York City) Eastercon. She was a member of Lilapa and The Cult.

She is probably best known as one of the editors of Xero which won the 1963 Best Fanzine Hugo (incidentally making Pat the second female recipient of a Hugo.) Their collection, The Best of Xero, was nominated for the 2005 Best Related Book Hugo.

Pat and Dick had their first child, Kenneth, in 1961. She later worked as a bookstore manager in Berkeley, CA.
