Elmer Perdue (aka Ephless El, li'l Elmer and 520 07 0328) was an early and longtime fan. He was host of the Caspercons in Wyoming during World War II, and a member of the Washington Worry-Warts. He had a Fine Mind and was famous for loud neckties.

He was a defender of Yngvi. He was a charter member of the National Fantasy Fan Federation in 1941.
