  Missing Pages  

The publications on the site are “what you see is what you get”. Old magazines, whether contributed or purchased online, are sometimes missing pages or articles or photos. The one you want is, unfortunately, one of those “challenged” issues. Sorry. But if you come across missing pages, scan them and send them as it is an easy task to incorporate them in the incomplete PDF.
