the NJARC for the nice donations. They help.

Reports from Ron O. and OMARC:
Last week end we had our field day at the Diana site (6/26/27). Hundreds
of contacts were made with amateurs throughout the U.S and Canada. We
were visited by the Mayor of Wall and he was very impressed with our
operation and that we were keeping the grounds looking nice. He had a
lot of good things to say in general about InfoAge. We were also visited
by the Spring Lake Fire Chief, Ed MeGill.
The sewer system for building 9116 was cleaned out by General Sewer
and Plumbing Svc, Inc. the day before we had our field day. Nothing
definite was found but we experienced no trouble with the system
throughout the field day week-end with over 20 people using the system.
Perhaps something was dislodged while he was cleaning the line out.
We're still not able to pinpoint exactly where the lid is located.
That's all for now,
73/ RON
--Thank you Ron.

***Reports needed from Dan L., Pete, and Mike G. - we should record it
to show what we have do and to challenge others to do as well. Nels is
suffering an email blockage.

- Now that the eagle has made its first flight, we have the OK from the
state to maintain the property south of Marconi Road and east of cottage
9003. Nels attacked the hill and hedges. All looks great. Thank you
Nels.
- Nels also used the fork lift to move the Moving Van inside the fence
so we could load it with 'lite-iron' to sell to a scrape metal dealer.
If you have any metal contributions please act fast, the van will be
leaving soon.
- We have begun the 9034 improve the drainage program. We dug around
the perimeter to expose 6" to 12" of concrete foundation to help storm
water to drain away form the structure. We will be regrading near the
building soon.

- We removed lots of vines and unwanted vgatation from around 9006,
9010, 9011, 9034 and 9034. We will clean up under the tower next.
- The teletype is working and it sounds just like in the movies thanks
to Ray C., Al K., Dave Sn., and others.

daylillies alive during the dry weather. We have hundreds of plants to
make the site look more appealing.
- Judy W. has added 500 names and adrresses to our prospective donor

Sorry for the items I have not gotten to list. Please email me things
you have done I have missed***

*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
