nation how can we expect them to know what they are capable of.
Thank you,

Great events - Good Progress - Great press coverage
The TIROS Celebration went well. The disk looked great in its new coat
of paint with the American flags. The platform the New Outlook Pioneers
and Lucent volunteers build for us looked excellent. The TIROS building
looked great with the newly painted floor, repaired sheetrock and all
the posters, and the TIROS cake was great. We had excellent Press
coverage. We can look forward to another nice article by Jamie and
another nice segment in Neighborhood Journal by Bill M. The April 1
story on the front page of the Star Ledger was nice.
Thank you to Bob, Pete and the PACE volunteers who helped get the leaves
packed up, the platform assembled and the grass cut. We posted the
photo of the PACE volunteers under the dish to the National Trust for
Historic Preservation website for the "This place matters" week.
Thank you to Steve G. for working with the PACE volunteers, replacing
the missing glass panes in the interior doors and the dozen and one
trips getting ready for the event.
Thank you to Joe G. for getting the coffee and refreshments ready for
all to enjoy. Joe and others helped relocate the Lucent platform to the
Diana/TIROS site.
Thank you to Dan L. for printing and lamination the 30+ posters with
photos of Camp Evans space history. Dan also used the rope system to
fly our flags on the dish.
Thank you to Dave Sica for filming a group oral history interview of
the RCA TIROS team members at the RCA 50th TIROS celebration.
Recent events and progress: Please email things I miss to fill in the gaps.
1) Reports form Ray Chase and the Wednesday group:
-two weeks ago- Present were, Ray C., Al K., Steve G., Steve R., John
T., Dave Snellman, Harry K. , Vince L. and Joe. Al K. worked on making
posters for the guard shack. Vince, Harry and Steve R. continued work
on windows for the Communications room in 9032 C and also started
fitting original doors to replace the modern hollow core doors. Dave
and Ray C. picked up some donations from a Wall resident who is moving
away; nice Atwater Kent restored console radio as well as a very nice
Oak Vintage Wall telephone and some other goods. Ray C. and Steve G.
worked in the H building storage room fixing lights and inventorying and
listing donations. John T. was moving books to the attic.
-last Wednesday- Present were: Vince L., Steve R., Al K., Harry K., Joe,
Steve G. Dave Snellman and Ray C. Steve R. & Harry K. pretty much
finished up the windows in the 9032 C planned communications room. Al,
Vince & Dave hung two proper period doors for the communications room to
replace the modern hollow core doors. They also started work on helping
John C. with the doors to the planned EW room. Ray fixed the door
closers to the doors from the vestibule to the C section so that the
doors operate easier and are properly rigged as fire doors. The doors
to the A section need this same treatment. Also worked on donation
inventory lists.
Thank you Ray and company
2) Pete R. was out yesterday cleaning leaves on the east side of the
hotel. Mike G. cleaned the leaves from behind the hotel and the parking
lot. Pete also retrieved the TORO mower from the repair shop and gave
our other equipment their spring service.
3) We will postpone the Wall of Honor event. The committee has not
picked honorees and we more committee workers and time to make a June
event.
4) The Monroe Township Veterans Council will be visiting with 25 WWII
Vets. Ray C. is coordinating this for the 28th.
5) Dan Jacobs edged the sidewalk along the front of the hotel. Dan is
usually on site each weekday morning around 9AM for his InfoAge
exercise. You are invited to join him.
6) We have nearly completed the process to join VolunteerMatch.org
7) Dan L. completed the InfoAge Marconigraph / InfoAge Signaleer. Bob
J. supplied the labels and we put them on at the last Wednesday meeting
after the Bald Eagle life presentation. Thank you to all who helped and
thank you to Bob J. for handling all the ever changing bulk mail hassle.
8) Please honor the 'Endangered Species Area' signs and give the eagle
family room to raise young. There are continuing issues with the state
volunteers monitoring the eagles. Please bring all issues to me. If
need be we will have a meeting with the game warden and township officials.
9) Thank you to Terry L., and the members of the membership committee.
The letters asking all persons who have donated or attended an event to
join InfoAge are labled, stampted and in the mail. We are hoping for
new members.
10) The NJARC members and others are helping find information on the
industries in the1945 list of NJ companies who earned the Army-Navy E –
award . We have information on 25 companies so far. We hope to reach
out to them for donations in the near future.
11) This weekend the Wall ROTC will continue practice in 9032A. They
moved from the TIROS building.
12) Will Somers and the wave science guys are working to join InfoAge to
help get their museum started. We have a spot for them.
13) We are still hoping the bill to name Camp Evans the state of NJ
Living Memorial will be introduced by State Senator Sean Kean. We need
to prepare an information package and possibly have some of our posters
ready as we will get short notice on when the request is accepted and
will be acted upon.
14) On Thursday evening (5:30 PM) the Wall Chamber of Commerce is
holding an event in our hotel. If you would like to be on-site to show
visitors our exhibits, please let me know.
15) I planted 70 day lilies along the north side of 9010C to improve the
site look.
16) Thank you to John T for hanging the portraits of Marconi and Sarnoff.
***Time to get to my paying job... Please email me things you have
