SEPTEMBER 1982 INAUGURAL EDITION

THIS WAS OUR VERY FIRST ISSUE OF THE CHAPTERGRAM AND WAS INSTITUTED BY THEN CHAPTER PRESIDENT PETER F. PALESTINA, CPCU.  IT WAS A 4 PAGE ISSUE AND THE EDITOR WAS THE CHAPTER FIRST VICE PRESIDENT PHILIP N. SPINELLI, CPCU.

PRIOR TO 1982, THE CHAPTER UTILIZED A ONE OR TWO PAGE NEWSLETTER FORMAT.   THE IDEA BEHIND THE NEW FORMAT WAS TO HAVE A TABLOID STYLE NEWS PIECE WITH PICTURES.  INITIALLY, IT WAS TO BE EDITED BY THE CHAPTER FIRST VICE PRESIDENT, WHICH WOULD HAVE NECESSITATED A CHANGE IN EDITOR EACH YEAR.  ONCE MR. SPINELLI BECAME CHAPTER PRESIDENT IN 1983 AND IN ORDER TO LEND SOME STABILITY TO THE PUBLICATION,   MR. PALESTINA VOLUNTEERED TO BE EDITOR AND HAS SERVED IN THAT CAPACITY EVER SINCE.
