Editor Lawrence. E. Perkins (from February 1966) Lawrence E. Perkins became editor from the February 1966 edition. He had appeared in the magazine earlier mainly as a photographer but also as an author. From the index of births, marriages and deaths, it is probable that he is Lawrence Edgar Perkins (1915-1987). His photographs often illustrated articles by his brother, Norman E. Perkins; there is a Norman E Perkins born in 1914 and died in 1966
