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.{{Cite news |last=Villiers |first=Regina |date=1 February 1995 |title=Madeira writer has editor in her own back yard |url=https://madeirahs.org/villiers/madeira-writer-has-editor-in-her-own-back-yard/ |access-date=23 February 2024 |work=The Suburban Life}} Ed Gallenstein died in 2015.
