Honey Wood (born Luisa Mary Providenti, later Graham) was an active fan in Cleveland in the 1950s, working on conventions (she was secretary of the Cleveland in '55 Worldcon bid and of Clevention, the resulting Worldcon). By 1960, she was living in Berkeley, CA, where she chaired the Baycon Westercon in Oakland, CA, sponsored by the Golden Gate Futurian Society. She was on the concom of Solacon.
She attended the Chicon in 1940, dressing up as a nurse for the masquerade according to Bob Tucker. She was involved in the Fanettes and a member of The Terrans, the N3F and the Little Men and served as an officer of all four. She was secretary of the N3F Correspondence Bureau.
She was co-editor of The National Fantasy Fan in 1954 (with Nan Gerding), Femzine (with Noreen Falasca), and The Bulletin of the Cleveland Science Fiction Society (with Harlan Ellison). She was a model in the LASFS Fashion Show that Bjo Wells ran at Solacon.
She was called Louise M. Provident when she married Donald Macklin Wood in 1950, but he was no longer in evidence when she found fandom. Honey Louise Wood married fan and SF author Roger Phillips Graham in California in 1956; she was his third wife, and they remained together till his death a decade later. She generally gafiated after that, but attended Baycon in 1968.
