Northwest Skier, 1958-91

I have a fairly complete set of Northwest Skier magazines, thanks to Joan Brown, who published the magazine for many years with her husband Ian. For Volumes 1-3 (1958-59 thru 1960-61) I have two copies of every issue in bound volumes. I'm missing originals of the following issues, but I have partial photocopies (typically just the cover) made by Kirby Gilbert from his collection.

Vol:No, mm-dd-yy
4:19, 2-23-62
7:19, 2-19-65
7:21, 3-5-65
7:22, 3-12-65
7:23, 3-19-65
7:24, 3-26-65
8:2, 10-29-65
8:3, 11-12-65
8:4, 11-26-65
8:5, 12-10-65
8:6, 12-24-65
8:7, 1-14-66
8:8, 1-28-66
11:1, 9-27-68
12:8, 1-1-70
12:9, 1-16-70
12:10, 2-1-70
12:11, 2-16-70

The following issues are missing entirely from my collection, but I reviewed Joan's copies and found nothing noteworthy for this project in them:

Vol:No, mm-dd-yy
7:1, 10-9-64

The following issues have noteworthy articles that I copied from Joan's collection:

Vol:No, mm-dd-yy
8:9, 2-11-66
8:12, 3-25-66
12:9, 1-16-70

The following issues seem to be missing altogether:

Vol:No, mm-dd-yy
8:10, 2-25-66
19:1, 9-6-76

Volume 24 ends in Spring 1982 and volume 25 begins in Autumn 1984, so it appears that no issues were published during the 1982-83 ski season. For the 1983-84 season I have only the October 1983 Ski & Winter Sports Show issue (probably the only issue published that year). My collection becomes spotty after 1985. I think relatively few issues were published between then and October 1989, when ownership of the magazine changed hands. My January 1991 issue was courtesy of Scott Wicklund.
