David K. M. Klaus

(August 26, 1955 – July 28, 2023)

Dave Klaus, a longtime fan now living in St. Louis, was a traveling jiant in the ’70s.

A St. Louis native, he lived in Phoenix in the 1970s. In the early ’80s, he lived in L.A., belonged to LASFS, edited its clubzine, De Profundis, and became one of the few members ever booted out of the club, basically because they didn’t like him (see File 770 33, p. 3).

He was married to Nila Thompson.
