These Sunday was busy with lots of visitors and families. A car group
visited. On site were Dave Sn., Harry K., Bob Forte and others in the
NJARC museum. Steve G., and Joe G were all over the place as usual.
Jeff F. had the MARCH exhibit open. Neil N., Dan L. and had the NJHDA
shipwreck museum open. Dan is training Jake D to be a docent. Dan J.
and sons were in the computer deconstruction lab. JoAnne and Cicely
were in the lobby.
I hope to see you at this meeting to help make more 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
