looks.
Pete replaced a troublesome ignition switch on our big mower.

Aggressive Mechanical has begun installing the new heat and A/C in 9059.

Thanks to Neil N. for the help moving my old 220V air compressor into
the 9059 utility room. This will enable us to replace the leaking
sprinkler system valve.

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 nearly done.

On Friday evening members of the Garden State Central met in the hotel.
Thanks for policing the men's room.

Thanks to Phyllis H. for getting us the latest Camp Evans survey to make

look of our historic district.

Thanks to Wall DPW for patching a few annoying pot-holes with leftover
asphalt patch.

Thank you to Al K. and Harry for getting the last lock on 9059
lock-able. Steve says it was a major pain.

We finished priming 9098, 9355 and 9057.

Eric removed all the nails from a pile of the salvaged shiplap siding.
We have more stored in 9017 that need the nails removed. This will help
us repair the damage to 9017 prior to priming.

9162 of the equipment to track the Russian Lunar Probe.

The 'U.S. ARMY" and "SIGN*AL COR*PS" signs will be re-lettered by Dan L,

fire commissioner's OK.

*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 and Dan Jacobs. for stepping up
to lead the DDU repairs.
We have two boy scouts working on plans to use the DDU for Boy Scout
camp outs - they are big metal tents designed by Buckminster Fuller.

Please email the items I forget. Do not get angry...email me!!! It is
important to report our progress.

**No Passion = No Progress. We have passion and we are progressing -
even if it is tough sometimes.**
If we do not tell kids what great things others have done to improve our
nation how can we expect them to know what they are capable of.
