Adrian Jadic wrote in USMA 19610 to urge that Metric Today be printed on A3 paper format. I have just now dug out my file of Metric Today and its predecessors back to April 1966. It started as "Metric Association Newsletter" printed on 11" by 17", Editor Louis F. Sokol. It changed to A3 formtat with the May 1973 issue. The name changed to "U.S. Metric Association Newsletter" in February 1975. Before 1980 July/August the Newsletter had been mailed from Boulder, CO. With that issue the typography changed, the name became "USMA Newsletter" and the Newsletter was mailed from Altadena, CA. With the 1980 Nov-Dec issue the format again became 11"X12". In 1990 the title became "Metric Today". In the 1992 Sep-Oct issue Louis Sokol resigned as Editor and turned the jpb over to Valerie Antoine, who had done the typography for the previous 10 years. Louis Sokol became a USMA member in 1947 and served as Secretary from 1966 to 1969, then as President from 1970 to 1978. He died on 1997 October 11.
