Social Trends Newsletter

Edited and published by Lois M. Scheel.

This newsletter went through a number of name changes: it began publishing in the Fall of 1983, as the Section 12245-3 newsletter. Its name changed to Northwest Technocrat Newsletter with issue 103 in March 1992. In May 1994 the name was changed to Northwest Area News. In November 1994, it was renamed Social Trends. Publication ceased with #150 in August of 1996. Any after 150 are articles Lois `published' on the Internet.
