==Fandom==
In the 1970s and early 1980s, Wynn published the Reconnaissance Newsletter followed by Reconnaissance Quarterly which was released under the Reconnaissance Press imprint. Both were Space: 1999 and Star Trek newsletters containing news, artwork, stories, and editorial content. 
Wynn talked about his early years:
===Starfleet and Trek International===
During this period, Wynn, (who adopted a Vulcan persona using the pseudonym "T. Wxyn"), also served on the Command Staff of Starfleet, a global role-playing Star Trek club). In 1981 he was appointed Chief of Communications and editor of the Starfleet Supplemental Communiqué, then served as titular editor of the Starfleet Communiqué. Later dismissed as Chief of Communications, in 1983 he left to found another Star Trek fan organization, Trek International, a group that ultimately boasted some thirty chapters worldwide. Wynn also served as editor of that organization's publication, The Fleet Herald, throughout his tenure with the group. Trek International operated for some six years before disbanding; many of the chapters merged into "Starfleet". The organization subsequently updated the name of the group to STARFLEET: The International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc., in recognition of the contributions of Trek International. The Guinness Book of World Records now recognizes "Starfleet" as the world's largest science fiction fan club.The History of Starfleet Chapter 5: Eric Stillwell
