Articles
In addition to his monthly column, Shep also wrote several articles.

Monthly Columns
Many thanks to Dave LaCombe who provided all the missing columns and articles to make this collection complete.
In checking, Dave says that there was no mentioning of his column either starting or ending it's run in the magazine. It came without fanfare and disappeared just as quietly.
