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.

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.

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.

-This Sunday we had 20 visitors: On hand were: Steve G., Neil N., Dan
L., Dan J. Don, Harry K., Phil V., Arron and others.

We cleared new vine growth by 9011C and D to make the area look nice for the car Show.

Ray Chase represented InfoAge at the IEEE Microwave Society Convention in Boston this weekend. He set up a display and gave a talk. Dru R. says the display was great, Ray was great and he made us proud.

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.

This Sunday we implemented our new entrance flow using the gate one guard house entrance.

Thank you to the NJARC for cleaning the gate one guard house - 9093. It looks great. Al Klase made an excellent colorful 'You are Here' map with possible museums or exhibits to see.

Dan L. installed the signs he made and lettered to point visitors to our offerings. Thank you to Dan L. for his leadership on this project. It has resulted in a burst of improvements.

At the Diana / TIROS site the TLM-18 satellite tracking antenna is nearly done. It looks great. The 'U.S. ARMY" and "SIGNAL CORPS" signs will be re-lettered by Dan L. on replacement signs. 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.

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

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.

We liberated several hundred feet of Pattern 105 wood siding from WW2 buildings that will be demolished. This is needed to repair the damage to the firehouse 9031) , 9029, 9017 and 9034 by the BRAC contractors hitting the siding with backhoes and loaders. Also, some siding rotten from not being painted for 20 years.

Over 11 years of various web page editors has made ugly html code. John is writing scripts to fix lots of problems. He is even fixing some of my special spelling. Thank you!!

This evening Mike G. and I attended and spoke at a Shark River Dredge Hearing held by Senator Sean Kean, Assemblyman Dave Rible, and Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini. Our goal was to make sure someone spoke out on the potential impact the expanded project would have on Camp Evans. We gave the Senator and Assembly persons info and newsletters.

While in Washington DC for my regular job I visited the office of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. I dropped off recent info and newsletters. Their attorney, Elizabeth Merritt and Roger McLaughlin saved our effort back in 2004 when BRAC threatened to auction the historic district to developers.

We may have found a company that specializes in the high-pressure air-conditioning systems. This will help us meet the ITT grant goal of AC in the hotel dining room. I have asked for an estimate. We need to schedule a visit.

-This past Wednesday's meeting was very productive. We are crafting our
fund raising strategy and public outreach. We are working on a new
member and new volunteer drive.

organizations. He has put together a paper titled - InfoAge Community
Development Strategy - Cultivating relationships into revenue generation.
--All ideas are well come - productive action is especially needed to
progress.

clean-up went well. It was like they were never there.
-All the cardboard was recycled and trash removed. Next the bottles
and cans go.

-At the Diana / TIROS site the TLM-18 satellite tracking antenna is
being power washed. The primer coat of paint was started today. It
looks great. This work is enabled by the grant the Harris Corporation

into funding the work.

- The painting of the prime coat on the WW2 Firehouse (9031) is
