Helen de la Ree
- HELEN DE LA REE - A black ink and gray pencil drawing on an 11 x 14 size vellum paper, circa 1974. It is an excerpt from a larger drawing that appears on the cover of, "Fantasy Collector's Annual, 1975," edited and published by Gerry de la Ree.
Way back in 1955, when I first went to buy some back issues of old SF pulp magazines from her husband Gerry, Helen was puttering around the plants in front of their home in River Edge, NJ. Helen is a beautiful woman with a soft unassuming voice who not only took care of the landscaping around their house, she also managed to take care of their art collection, their huge library of rare books, and their mail-order business. She also had to do most of the hard work managing Gerry's publishing ventures because his poor health prohibited him from doing it. That was years ago, though it seems like yesterday. We have been friends now for a very long time, she remains an ageless and beautiful woman.
