Betty Franklin

Betty Franklin (formerly de Gabriele) is an Australian fan and fanartist whose artwork appeared in numerous fanzines between the late 1970s and the early/mid 1990s. 
She was an early member of Austrek and became contributor to its newsletter Captain's Log and fanzine Spock - not only as artist and writer, but also as editor. She was a participant or committee member on conventions such as Trekcon 2 and Galactic Tours. 
Betty withdrew from active fandom in the 1980s/1990s, but she transferred her skills to employment opportunities, and also illustrated some professional publications. She has also kept in touch with many fannish friends.
