This issue of the NetLetter marks the beginning of the 25th year since Vesta Stevenson and Terry Baker created and distributed the first issue back in October 1995. Originally, a much smaller newsletter was distributed every 2nd day and, as the content grew, the distribution was formalized to weekly. Alan Rust came on board and offered his skills with website software to help grow and expand the newsletter. Distribution was reduced to every 14 days, as the newsletter had also once again grown considerably in content. Alan also designed and built the current website (www.TheNetLetter.net) where most back issues are available for viewing as well as the design of the current newsletter. Wayne Albertson joined Terry and Alan in 2015 to assist in compiling the newsletter and now has assumed administration duties of the website and newsletter. Ken Pickford and Bob Sheppard generously provide their proofreading skills, fact checking and occasional content contributions to make each edition better. Vesta passed away in July 2010 and Alan passed in April 2019 but their love for the NetLetter project remain with us and we feel their influence while creating every issue. The NetLetter mission is to preserve and share memories of the special people who are a part of aviation history in Canada (and beyond). We are grateful to our subscribers for continuing support of our efforts |
