Name and birthdate sound good, but "Fruit Ranching"???
Canadian citizen.
Edit to add: worldcat has info this same person, I think
http://worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n90601698/
AND that page references Hoffman's Weird Tales, as well as the fruit ranching.
PS: Believe it or not, I was considering doing The Sandman and The Golden Pot, but could find no translator information...
