Great events - Good Progress - Great press coverage
-----------------------------
- We are making good progress restoring the original ceiling lights in
the TIROS building 9162 so the room looks exactly like the 1960 photo in
National Geographic and NASA photos.

- Our Wizard of Oz costumes we use for the Haunted Hotel will help the
Wall Drama Production
- Evan and MARCH picked up a UNIVAC system and other vintage equipment.
- Mike G. repaired the snow plow truck.
- Mike G. has finished the packing away of his holiday display. Mike
stripped the entire dining room floor. It looks excellent.
- The hotel lounge is ready for the next set of improvements. Restored
lights to match the original and more.
- Check Amazon.com to purchase a copy of Frank O'Brien's book on the
NASA/Apollo Flight Guidance Computer. I ordered my copy. As you know we
have one on display in an excellent exhibit made by Frank.
- A recently published book titled 'Radar Origins Worldwide' has a
chapter - Evans Signal Laboratory'. I order two copied from Amazon.com
- Frank O., Jeff F. and Mike G. are cooking up a rocketry day to honor
Rusty Swigert in summer.
- Bob G's book on Camp Evans history is moving forward. Three more
chapters are being reviewed.
- We are considering being a part of the Belmar St. Patrick's Day
parade. Scott W. is leading the charge.
- Able R. completed the assembly of more supply shelves.
- Steve G., and John T. helped Blossom with the mass of donated supplies.
.
This Sunday we had many many visitors. Lots more items were delivered
for the Blossom Care packs and support of our activities. On site on
Sunday: Frank O., our Mayor George Newberry, Steve G.,
Able & Michele R., Bella R., John T., Ray, Edith & Toby Chase, Dave Sn.,
Dan J., Scott W., Nels W., Phil V., Dan L., Neil N., and Cicily F.

I hope to see you at the next few meeting to help plan this exciting
year of progress. It is up to us to make historic Camp Evans a place of
public benefit service that is honoring to those who served there.

*Reasons to tell persons why to donate (via check or PayPal) to our
effort NOW: *
1) Saves an incredibly historic site
2) Honors WWII Signal Corps and Honor Front veterans
3) Helps education by inspiring kids to learn science
4) Furthers the development of a NJ Shore tourist destination.
5) Will create full and part-time employment
6) Improves property values in the North Wall and Shark River area.
7) We are the White House recognized stewards of the Camp Evans Historic
District and now it is under our protection for future generations

**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.

Thank you,
Fred
