History
Chip Chats started as a mimeographed newsletter. Edward Gallenstein (president of the NWCA) took over the 450-subscriber newsletter in 1965. By 1995, the newsletter-turned-magazine gathered 55,000 subscribers. His family helped him create issues and manage the business. Ed Gallenstein died in 2015.
