History

The Saint Louis Section has been in existence for over 100 years as part of IEEE. The section encompasses a large territory stretching from Hannibal, MO, to Carbondale, IL, to the Missouri boot heel, to Rolla, to Columbia-and a small stretch along I-70 to the Indiana border. As of 2008, they had over 2600 IEEE members in the Section.

When IEEE was formed, the section bylaws stated that the office of Sr. Vice Chairman was the chairman elect for the following year. H P Dougherty is listed on section letterhead as chairman for 1963-1964 and G E Dreifke was listed as Sr. Vice Chairman. He was presumably the chairman for 1964-65.

Notes

↑ Names are obtained from a combination of newsletter publications and collective memory.
↑ 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.
↑ 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.
