This is the first issue which mentions the St. Louis Section.

Notes

  1. ↑ Names are obtained from a combination of newsletter publications and collective memory.
  2. ↑ Names obtained from publications of the IRE. In most cases these are just the first initial(s) and last name. First names are obtained from additional research.
  3. ↑ Names obtained from publications of the AIEE. In most cases names are given as first/middle initial and last name. Full names have been obtained in some cases through additional research.

All corrections, additions, and comments are welcomed and encouraged! Send to h.pottinger@ieee.org. I am particularly interested in early copies of the section newsletter 'The Mighty Mho' as well as any previous newsletters which included section news such as the 'Gateway Engineer' published by the Engineer's Club.
