Lone Wolf Club Newsletters

[outspaced]

Greetings, fellow Lone Wolf fans!

Today I was inspired by a fan's kind submission of SIX of the TEN missing pages from the Lone Wolf Club Newsletters. It seems that he read about them in the Annual Report for 2011 and scanned them in for us. (Many thanks to Fraser Hjorring.) I found time to process them and re-release the updated versions. (Oh! FYI the Newsletters updated with pages that were previously missing are #22, #23, and New Year's Special 1993.)

This is an amazing achievement--only Newsletter #14 is still incomplete! This time last year we were still missing 20 pages (actually, we were missing 26 pages, since we didn't even know about the New Year's Special 1985); now we are down to just four missing pages. All of the Newsletters are slowly being revised to use a better quality Souvenir Lt BT font (instead of the less-satisfactory free Souvenir font), and also update the Licenses to the latest version from 2009. This is a slow process because it requires a lot of re-working of the layout for each page sigh. Still, when it's done, it'll be great.

If anyone out there has a copy of Lone Wolf Club Newsletter 14 please[/b] contact us. Your scans could well bring the Newsletter archive to completion!

And so it comes to pass that contributors have found the final missing pieces of the jigsaw and now all thirty-seven Club Newsletters are complete!!![/b]

Enjoy...

Following hot on the heels of the discovery of all the missing pages comes one final release for the Lone Wolf Club Newsletters: A complete archive of all thirty-seven Newsletters in one PDF file.

The benefits of this all-in-one document are:

• One download instead of thirty-seven
  
• Only one Title Page and one Project Aon License leading to reduction of over 100 pages
  
• Much-reduced download-size--29Mb vs. thirty-seven files amounting to 41.3Mb
  
• Each individual Newsletter is Bookmarked for convenience
  
• Easy to search for specific information
  
• Newsletters provided in the correct release order; no more wondering where the Specials fit in!

The idea of releasing the Lone Wolf Club Newsletters was mooted on the mailing list sometime back in February 2003. I know, because I looked this up, and no one is more surprised than I am! We assumed that it would be a fairly straightforward job of scanning and releasing a few pages. How wrong we were.

It has taken the last nine years to bring this project to completion. About two years ago, when there were still twenty pages missing from our files, we thought it unlikely that we would ever complete this work. And yet, here we are in 2012, with all 431 pages recreated with improved fonts and layout, but containing all the original information sans typos. Perhaps this bodes well for other Lone Wolf-related projects to be brought to a satisfactory conclusion sometime this year! ;-)

We certainly hope this complete resource will be of interest to fellow Lone Wolf fans everywhere. So, whether you are a long-time fan of the series, or a new convert, please join us in cheering the successful completion of a tough assignment: "For Sommerlund and the Kai!"
