And, faster than you could say, "Captain I think you're going to need a bigger boat!" the brothers were hooked. A lot of dice-rolling has come and gone, numerous replays have been complet- ed by the brothers, both of whom married and now have two children apiece. In March of 1971, the Strat-O-Matic Review was launched, a joint creation of Mike Allison [who left the Review in June, 1974, to attend school in Tennessee) and Del Newell. Warren Newell then joined the Review lineup and the monthly pub- lication continued uninterrupted into 1975 without a hitch, and with subscrip- tions hovering around the 1,500-mark. Most readers have never met the Review editors and their wives, so the following is an attempt to acquaint you with the men [and women), the formerly faceless people, behind the scenes. Del Newell has been with the Review since its inception, was co-host with Mike Allison for the first Strat-O-Matic National Convention in Kalamazoo, MI, in August of 1972, and was on the scene [with his wife Mary Jane) for the 1973 National Convention held in Brooklyn, NY.
