Default 1966 Topps Series Release Dates ... Approx?

Anybody know the approx. timeline for release of the 1966 Topps cards e.g. Series one released in April, Series two released in May, etc? I'm trying to reconstruct a timeline for when I opened packs ... by series ... in 1966. Obviously I have way to much time on my hands right now :-) This all came about today when I was thumbing thru my almost complete 66T set in binder ... and was able to identify cards that I'm sure I bought in 1966 (I wrote on some of them ... I was 8 years old). I'm still working on this set :-) I think I bought maybe (15) packs in 1966 based on the # of cards I'm pretty sure I pulled. I bought a bunch of 66T's in the 1980's at card shows in Atlanta when I was trying to complete the set. Then joined OBC and they've been helping me along the way. I'm down to 8 cards, mostly the high #'s. I'll eventually scan all the cards I think are original to my purchases in 1966. Pretty cool how I formed an image of many of those cards over 50 years ago and I can still identify those cards as cards I pulled from packs (Del Crandall for instance ... as an 8 year old I couldn't figure out why an old, old man was playing baseball ... check out his 66T card! :-). Anyway ... if anyone knows about when each series was released in 1966, that would be cool to know. Thank you.
