Roger Lee Vernon (1924–2017) Although listed in several reliable sources as having died in 1980, Vernon declared wryly in 2009 that those listings are "probably not true". (https://sciencefictionspacefrontiers.blogspot.com/) was an American science fiction writer.
He received a master's degree from Northwestern University, traveled extensively throughout North American and Europe, and while writing his stories in the early 1950s worked as a Chicago high school teacher. In 1968 he received his PhD in history, also from Northwestern University, and afterward taught at colleges in the Chicago area and aboard US Navy ships. Retired, he lived in Elgin, Illinois with his wife, where he returned to writing. He and his wife had four children.
