Dispatch History
The following is from a letter from Paul Stanek, then the national training coordinator, to a local commander in January, 1977.
“The first issued “Dispatch” was for June, July and August 1963. The front cover has a drawing of a mail pouch with words, Royal Rangers DISPATCH. The cover is black and white. The scenes in a glass bottle is in this issue."
“The second “Dispatch” has a yellow cover which was for the Autumn of 1963. I find no record of a Winter issue of Dispatch November, December, January 1963-1964. I don’t know if one was published at that time."
“The Spring “Dispatch” 1964, I do have. This issue speaks of a new format for “Dispatch” from mimeographed to printing. The copy also speaks of the 50th anniversary of the Assemblies of God."
“I do not find any record of a 1964 Summer issue of ever being printed. We do have records of all other issues put out since then.”
NOTE: The RoyalRangersHistory.com site has scans of the Dispatch magazines from Summer 1963, Autumn 1963, and Winter 1963-64 (the issue Paul Stanek did not know if it existed or not) and the Spring 1964 Dispatch.
