There was a new format for the Newsletter; the editor, Paul Jorgensen, heard from Ellen Frans about obtaining a copy of The Shackletons book. Ellen is the daughter of Eleanor Stanczyk and the granddaughter of Elmer and Alma Shackelton. Paul also purchased a new computer and a program to aid with the family research. An article in the Patriot (published by the Sons of the Revolution in the State of California) appeared in the December 1984 issue about Paul's hard work on the Shackelton family lines.
