*Status:*

We are in Emergency Stabilization mode now. We are attacking worse first.
We face the challenges of keeping the momentum of our regular activities
increasing and meeting the challenges of the additional grounds and
buildings.
We are working to secure the remaining broken or missing doors.
We need more helpers on the 'H' building security. Steve G. can only
get so much done by himself.
We have to repair the three roof leaks that we suspect can be causing
structural damage in the 'H' buildings.
We need to begin repainting the metal DDUs to protect them from further
rust damage. Thank you to Dave Snellman for stepping up to lead the DDU
repairs.

Just some of the things I know of or can recall.
***During the week... and weekend...* * Note in no particular order*

- The IEEE New Jersey Coast - Technical Talk - Real-Time Spectrum
Analysis by Alan Wolke & Scott Zederbaum, Tektronix Corporation had 30
plus attendees
Scott and Alan's presentation of the amazing information one can see
we the new generation of scope was excellent.
Howard Vollium, the founder of Tektronix Corp., who worked at Camp
Evans during WW2, would be pleased the progress his company has made in
the state of the art.
Mr. Vollium was an IEEE director during the 1950s.
Thank you to Dru R.and the New Jersey Coast IEEE chapter for the Pizza.

-Nels W., Pete R. and Bob W. mowed and weed wacked everything. Bob W.
mowed the Diana / TIROS site. The site looks great for the car show.
We all are proud of how good the site looks.

-Eagle scout Matt is working on the path from 9003 to 9004/5 to earn his
eagle award. He is working with the 1914 Henderson Photos to
approximate the wireless operators path to their desks. Under Steve G's
guidance he is making good progress.

-The painting at the Diana / TIROS site the TLM-18 satellite tracking
antenna is done. It looks great.
This work is enabled by the grant the Harris Corporation gave us.
The contractor is doing a better job than imagined. These guys really
want to do a quality job.
Dan L. installed four pulleys to enable us to hoist banners and flags
for special events.
The 'U.S. ARMY" and "SIGN*AL COR*PS" signs will be re-lettered by Dan
L, the replacement signs are in place.
Dan was only able to put the letters '*AL COR*" before the lift company
can to pick up their unit. We hope the Glendola Fire Company has a
bucket truck to help.

- Yesterday - our application to add to our historic district was heard
in Trenton, NJ. by the State Review board. Thanks to Bob Craig the
application was approved.
I had a few items to answer for, but we got enough yes votes to pass.
The road behind 9037, the building 9013, 9017 and 9087, the Marconi
Mast Anchor at the corner of Monmouth and Watson were added to our
historic district. This will help us gain funds to preserve the structures.
A triangular area behind the H-buildings that was once ours and was
transfered to Brookdale is now removed from the register. This saved
Brookdale the Section 106 process.

- We have are 3/4 ths done with the prime coat 9034 which measures 60'
by 100'. We made some progress in spite of the rain.
- Dan J. has the Computer eduction center ready open for business on
Sundays. Dan - we need to make an announcement for the press.
- Dan J. invites you to his morning Landscaping & exercise class.

-On Friday evening members of the Garden State Central met in the hotel.

- Steve G. fixed the door stop on the 9093 - gate one guard house
entrance door. This is a small thing, but a big help. We do not have
to hold the door open with boards or bricks. Much nicer.

- Dan L. and Neil N. have made great progress on the getting the sunken
ship heat exchanger ready to add to the NJHDA exhibit at InfoAge. The
fabricated a rolling stand and are painting it.

- We cleared out the utility room in 9059 so the heating contractor can
get to work in a clear room.

- We sorted lots of stuff in the 'Let's put it here for now' rooms in
9032C. We have th potential of adding at least six more exhibit rooms.
I piled some items in 9032A and will be asking you do we need this?

-The scratch coast on 9006 is still done. I have to get to work on the
paperwork to apply for the balance of the grant.

L., Dan J. Don, Harry K., Phil V., Arron and others.

-We had a company that specializes in the high-pressure air-conditioning
systems visit on Tuesday to prepare a bid.
