This weeks report from Ray Chase -

Present were: Al K., Harry K., Dave Snellman, Dave Sica and Phil V. The Mad Science Lab was torn down in the Firehouse and smaller items returned to the museum or storage. Larger pieces will be transported this week with Mike G.s flat bed trailer. We should be totally cleared out this week. Picked up lumber for the Exploratorium Kaleidoscope project and stared work on that with one of the science kids. They now indicate a schedule conflict on Wednesdays so not sure how we proceed from here.

A report from Joe G -

This week, I have been working on telecom museum more. I have begun to refinish one of the PBX's in my possession. I helped in the retrieval of 5 display cases purchased for InfoAge on Friday.

Thank you Ray, Ray and Joe. All reports are welcome.

*Remember - ask first before you start any construction. Thank you Martin for asking is we need a permit to run Cat-5 communications cable. I do not think we do, but that is were I have gotten us in trouble before. I will or Lou will check with the town. I still have to develop an internal form to submit to our 'Building and Grounds committee' prior to any work actions. They will review the form and submit the information to the town.

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday, November 3.

2010-11-03T09:32:00.002-04:00

Hello Everyone,

No formal meeting tonight. We all need a break and time to catch after the incredible success of the Haunted Hike and NJ Science Festival. All are welcome to work on projects or to help clean up after the Haunted Hike.

**Highlighted Future Events** Remember to check and to send events to calendar@InfoAge.org to have them posted on the planning calendar.

* Nov. 6th NJARC Swap meet
**Date to be set - IEEE Milestone in technology bronze plaque presentation for the 50th anniversary of TIROS. This is Camp Evans second milestone - Project Diana was the first.
**Dates to be set - The Holiday Trains and the VMC aka VMX.
**Next Newsletter articles due last day of November**

No Report from Ray Chase - resting.

The Haunted Hike was a great success. Everyone has raved and they had great comments. We have raised enough money to re-roof another H-building section. Thank you to the many volunteers who made this a great event. Thank you to to Blossom, OMARC. MARCH, NJHDA, MTMNJ, NJNG, MAST, Rob and the the Shore Players, Laura and the Wall thespians, the Wall ROTC, the CACI employees who helped out and many individuals. Also, the Wall police and to the Wall DPW for patching the many potholes. This was a amazing triumph lead by Nels, Judy with the support of many of our volunteers. If you recall the town refused to issue a permit to hold the event inside any of the buildings. Given the recent fire in one of the abandoned buildings, this was understandable reaction. The challenge was how to you reinvent the event in six weeks. A whole lot of old fashioned - WWII style 'We Can Do IT' made a victory. Over three thousand persons enjoyed our event, we have moved our mission to save the radar laboratory a step further, and we can be proud of how well everything went.

*Thanks to Neil N. and Dan L. the grant application to put a second roof on 9034 to stop the growing number of leaks was put in the mail on time. Nice work on short notice.

***Festering and at times flaming issue - which is getting worse. We now have a stop work order on one of our projects and the requests to inspect 9032 and 9059 have not been acted upon for over a month. Clearly we have issues with the town building department. We need to file for permits when ever we do work on our buildings. Twice I have had to force folks to get permits for electrical work. At times we do not realize we need permits for the work we are doing. We will develop an internal form to submit to our 'Building and Grounds committee' prior to any work actions. They will review the form and submit the information to the town.

*Larrison Fuel and Oil completed cleaning our hotel boiler so we will to be ready for this winter. We need to get them back as the boiler is not running just right. We will check with Central Boiler to get the zone valves the Army disabled working

* Thank you to Steve M. for getting a S-280 radar shelter delivered from Tobyhanna Army depot.

* We are getting close on picking an IEEE milestone plaque unveiling event in November of December.

---Thank you all. See you at next week's meeting

Comments on the Haunted Hike by Dave Sica - who I am told is an ACE with the smoke ring cannon:

If you haven't made it over to the "Haunted Hike" at InfoAge yet, there
are still two more days to go, this coming Friday and Saturday. The scale
of this event is just awesome. The hike probably covers an acre of ground
and you wouldn't believe how creepy an abandoned army base can be at
night under a full moon! There are dozens of dedicated and talented
actors playing the roles of all kinds of scary creatures and the amount
of work and creativity that's gone into the construction of the displays
is almost beyond my ability to comprehend. The InfoAge Haunted Hike is at
least as ambitious as any Halloween event anywhere and is a good deal
less expensive than many. It's also a major fund raiser for the
organization and a great tool for outreach into the community.

This past weekend was the first time I really participated in the event.
I had breezed through with a camera last year but working behind the
scenes in the mad scientist lab was something else. My hat is off to the
NJARC guys (primarily Ray Chase, Harry Klancer, Al Klase and Dave
Snellman) who put together a real crowd pleaser. You'll see pictures in the
NJARC newsletter and on the website, but you really have to be there in
person to get the full effect. And although the customers loved it, I can
personally guarantee you that it's even more fun to be part of the crew!

Most everyone (of the thousands of folks who've passed through so far)
left with a big smile on their face, even some of the older kids who came
in with a bit of a chip on their shoulder, as if they were just too cool
for us to possibly be able to entertain them. One teenaged skeptic even
left saying "hey man, thanks, that was great!"

The really scary part is that all during the event I kept getting ideas
on even more things we could do NEXT year.

The Haunted Hike is going great. Everyone has great comments. We have raised just over $24,000. We are well on the way to being able to put a new roof on one of the 9011 sections. Thank you to the many volunteers who are making this a great event. Thank you to the CACI employees who helped out and hopefully had fun too. As always, Blossom, OMARC. MARCH, NJHDA, MTMNJ, NJNG, MAST, Rob and the the Shore Players, Laura and the Wall thespians, the Wall ROTC. Plus the walk is safer thanks to Wall DPW patching the many potholes. Please come volunteer and have some fun at the same time.

The NJ Science Festival was great. I can not put it any better than Dave Sica:

"I was able to drop by for the last couple of hours today to help pack up
the exhibit.

Wow!

I have a friend who always says "if you want to be big, you've got to
look big." The InfoAge booth looked ten times better than the display put
on by Liberty Science Center and as good or better than nearly everything
else there. And I was blown away by the kids; I guess the ones who
dragged their parents there (or maybe were dragged there by their
parents) were exactly our target audience. I've never been peppered with
so many questions before! It was so much fun talking to little kids who
got all excited about this stuff. And it was also a little bit
encouraging that maybe the future of our country isn't going completely
to hell in a handbasket after all. Major kudos go to they guys who put
together this impressive display."
--Dave Sica

***It was fun and the five eras of computer development dioramas were a big hit. Mel dropped off a box of flyers to go with his exhibit. The satellites were a good draw too. MARCH had a great display and lots of interested visitors. We hope this outreach will net InfoAge more visitors and more supporters.

***Thank you Ray and Dave for the reports.

*On Monday we had the pleasure of hosting the Monmouth County Historical Commission meeting at InfoAge. The commissioners spent lots of time in the museums. They have helped us with grants to put a new roof on the TIROS building, repair the WWII addition on the Marconi Power plant, fix structure issues with 9029, 9031 and 9034. Neil is working on a grant to have a second roof put on 9034 to stop the growing number of leaks. Last count was eight.

***Festering and at times flaming issue. We need to file for permits when ever we do work on our buildings. Twice I have had to force folks to get permits for electrical work. At times we do not realize we need permits for the work we are doing. We will develop an internal form to submit to our 'Building and Grounds committee' prior to any work actions. They will review the form and submit the information to the town.
* The buildings and Grounds committee met on Monday at 9 AM.

*Our CBDG is moving along thanks to Lou R. and John Truhan. We are waiting on the bid specs.
*Larrison Fuel and Oil completed cleaning our hotel boiler so we will to be ready for this winter. They recommended working with Central Boiler to get the zone valves the Army disabled working

* Mike G. visited Brian Boyce, who makes amazing WWII dioramas. Brian would like to display some of his dioramas at InfoAge. Mike loves his dioramas.
* Thank you to Mike G. for the new giant door mat at the back of the hotel.
* Thank you to Jamie B. for calling us to put together a story on our Haunted Hike.

--This Sunday we had a low number volunteers on site (due to Haunting Hangovers), but a nice flow of guests. On site were JoAnnn B., Frank O., Joe G., Neil N., Dave Snellman of the NJARC and others I am sure if have missed.

---Thank you all. See you are the meeting

Ray

The Haunted Hike is going great. Everyone has great comments. We have raised just over $13,100. We have kept expenses down this year by creative reuse of previous years materials. So we are well on the way to being able to put a new roof on one of the 9011 sections. The kids love the train. The actors make the show lots of scary fun. Based on the comments of visitor's if we gave a Best Actor award - it would be DJ. We have moved the Casper house to the hotel dinning room as building 9059 is not available. Thank you to the many volunteers who are making this a great event. This weekend we will be without Judy's leadership so we will need extra help. Please come volunteer and have some fun at the same time.

The roof leaks in the H-building main hallway are gone as the remaining part of the hall was re-roofed on Monday. We also had the leak in the Hotel Piazza repaired. This turned out to be worst than expected. It is good we did this before winter.

*Thanks to Harry K. and the NJARC we are making progress on an exhibit at the NJ science festival.
*Our CBDG is moving along thanks to Lou R. and John Truhan. We are waiting on the bid specs.
*Larrison Fuel and Oil completed cleaning our hotel boiler so we will to be ready for this winter. They recommended working with Central Boiler to get the zone valves the Army disabled working

Report from Ray Chase:

Our Wednesday work day actually started on Tuesday when Ray C., Ron B., Al K., Dave Snellman and Phil V. put in a full day getting our Mad Science Display set up in the Firehouse. Then on Wednesday, the same crew minus Phil V. but added to by Harry K. put in another full day continuing with our Halloween display.
Ray

Report from Joe G.
This week, I spent much time preparing to attend the World Maker Faire at the New York Hall of Science to represent InfoAge with a booth and a display. Over the course of the weekend, Steve Goulart, Matt Reynolds of NJARC and myself manned the booth. We made some interesting contacts, and the stack of brochures we brought all but disappeared. This event made obvious a change or two that should be made to the brochure. On Tuesday, I secured a donation of a fairly recent small office copier that is fully functional and came with an additional unused toner cartridge.

Joe Giliberti

Report from Martin Flynn: Here's the list of what we accomplished for Wednesday's meeting:

Backboard for data and telecomm equipment in 9116 mounted by Jeff Harshman, Ron Oleander, and myself. Jeff will paint during week. Data equipment and cabling will be installed next weekend.

Additional J type lock cores acquired, waiting on visit from Best Locks for advise on keying.

Main distribution frame in 9059 cleared of unused jumpers in preparation for PBX installation.

Tested existing telephone cable from 9006 to 9059, determined length. Length tests indicates cables are terminated either in vault or on distribution frame in 9059.

Determined what portions of existing distribution frame in 9059 are suitable for re-use, developing drawings for permitting process.

Cast iron extension wings for workshop table saw have been acquired.

Starter (control relay) for shop air compressor was acquired.

Harris audio console for future broadcast radio exhibit delivered to museum.

Thank you Ray, Joe and Martin for the reports as well as the excellent work.

***NOTE: Our fiscal year ended Sept 30th. Judy and I will be working to get our records to our accountant in the easy audit-able format. Please finish the evaluations of the few remaining non-cash contributions - please - I hate hunting you down and nagging you****

*The fifth Wall of Honor was a great event. It was touching to see the families of the two honorees proudly pose for photos with all their children and grandchildren. It was also nice to thank our former trustees for their service - Andy DeAngelo, Barb Ruane, and Larry Tormey. Thank you to Lynn B, Mike G. and the BOT for a ton of work to make this event a success. Thanks to Mike G. the dining room, foyer and lounge looked great. Thank you to Capt. Jim Steinbaugh and the Wall ROTC for opening the ceremony as color guards. Thank you to Dave Snellman for getting the sound system setup. Dave Sica documented the event with a 2--camera professional video setup. Now the programs are done, food enjoyed, tables set and cleared, signs were made, licenses secured, plaques presented, tons of hard work and lots of details were completed.
--It is sad to report that Trustee Dunkin Thecker passed away at age 95. If not for Dunkin's and Pat's kindness we would not have the beautiful dining room finished so nicely.
*Thanks to Harry K. and the NJARC we are making progress on an exhibit at the NJ science festival.
*Lou R. has filed the paperwork for a CCO inspection in 9032 and 9059. Joe and Steve have been doing the final details that show we care.
*Our CBDG is moving along thanks to Lou R. and John Truhan. We are waiting on the bid specs.
*Larrison Fuel and Oil completed cleaning our hotel boiler so we will to be ready for this winter. They recommended working with Central Boiler to get the zone valves the Army disabled working
*Thanks to Nels, Judy and their legions of volunteers the new and improved Haunted Hike's first night was fantastic. Matt Orgill's website, complete with a promotional video is great. The visitors like the new hike. So many persons have helped. A special thanks to Ken C. and the Wall Public Works who patched over 16 potholes along to Hike. No one fell or hurt themselves in the holes and once the Halloween events are over our roads are in better shape. I can not possibly name all who have helped and are helping make the Haunted Hike a success. A separate email is called for. We hope the raise enough funds to re roof another H-building section. Twelve of the sixteen sections are haunted by rain leaks. We have to stop the drips from HELL. Thanks to Judy and Jamie B. our Haunted Hike had a nice article in the Coast Star. This had to boost attendance.
*Thanks to State Senator Sean Kean bill SCR85 was unanimously passed by the NJ Senate. Next stop is the Assembly.
*The IEEE celebrated the naming of TIROS I as a historic milestone in technology history at a dinner at the Sarnoff facility on Monday the 27th. Frank O'Brien, Dave Sica and I represented us. The IEEE commissioned a second plague our TIROS site. We will have an installation ceremony. Dru Reynolds is setting the date in November.
*We located the lost water shut off for the TIROS building 9162. It took a lot of digging. The shutoff needs repair or replacement. The Wall Twp. is helping out. Capt Steinbaugh of Wall H.S. is working with the school to get us help to reactivate a restroom in the TIROS building so they can use it. Our next step is to add the handicap restroom architect Paul Moore designed for the extra space created when we modernized the heat and added A/C.
*OMARC had a Ham Fest on Oct. 2 - one of their best.
* Dan Leib has been doing a great job distributing our brochure. We have 5,000 more on hand.
*We may be given early radar information by Arthur Viewgers family for our archive.
Thanks to John Cervini and Paul Zigo of Brookdale are in discussions with a fellow, Brian Boyce, who makes amazing WWII dioramas. He would like to display some at InfoAge.
* John Cervini has plans to reach out to Columbia University to team with them to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Regenerative Circuit at our site when it was the Marconi Belmar High- powered Wirless station. I bet Al Klase would help.
* Evan (no s) Koblentz has been making more progress in researching Camp Evans roll in early computer development.
*Steve G. has been our man on site, helping all who need to get access or have questions.
* BRAC contractors are at work near the river working on 9004 and 9005 the original Marconi operations building and the suspected U.S. Navy auxiliary operations building built during WWI.
* We have over 40 additional folding tables thanks to the purchase of heavy duty folding table leg sets. We took the wood tops off the the metal desks left at Camp Evans by the Army. A $500 investment in legs and volunteer time has netted us way over $4000.00 worth of tables.
*Thank you to Dan and Terry Lieb, Neil Norell and Mike Golub for hosting the meeting of the Life Saving Service Historical Society.
* We are working toward submitting a grant request to the Monmouth County Historical Commission. In the running are a second roof for 9034, Repairs to the roof and replacement doors for 9097, the foundry and the way out idea of moving the WWII special antenna shelter 9020 to the historic district to save it from demo. I meet with one contractor today, a second tomorrow and possibly a third.
* As always, Nels and Pete have the site looking great. I donated and planted 12 more giant hostas to make the front of the Marconi Hotel look more landscaped.
* We hosted a second Ice Cream to help 'Rescue Ridge' raise funds for their animal rescue mission.
*This Month we have displays on Camp Evans history in the Wall Township and Howell Township libraries.
*Our National Historic landmark application is progressing thanks to Robie Lange of the NPS.
*Thank you to News Channel 12 and Mr. Kurt Siglan for the spot on the TIROS anniversary.

--This Sunday and the Sunday prior we had lots of volunteers were on site; JoAnnn B., Frank O., Joe G., Dan and Terry L., Neil N., Nels & Judy W., Jeff B. and Matt N. of MARCH, Herb Johnson formerly of MARCH, Phil V., Ray C., Dan J., Scott W., Chief Milko, Tizzie, Stacie S., Pete, John C., Rob the Shore Players lighting guy, and others.

As always, you know I forget stuff as I am putting this email together. I even forget stuff I do. Until I get the right medication I could use help. Send in a quick email on Monday of what you did. It is important we record all the work we have done. As you look back on past emails in our blog (thankd Dave Sica) it is impressive how much we have gotten done. And, you can reduce how annoyed I get with myself as I drive to work and things I forgot pop into my head.

---Thank you all. See you are the meeting

Report from Dan L.:

From Dan Lieb
The Brochure Exchange rack is up. The brochures are from other organizations and sites that display our brochure for the public to pick up. This is an experiment to see if it will draw visitors to InfoAge. The sites are mostly local. I will maintain the brochures at all locations. If they need any, I'll drop them off and pick up more of their's. If there are any suggestions for a brochure you want to see added, make sure you can get plenty and that the site will display our brochures. The site should be a tourist attraction such as a park or museum.

they are going to work on, cleaned toilets.
Aug. 11 - Present were: Al K., Ray C., Dave Snellman, John Tyminski,
Harry K. and Steve R. Harry K. applied 4 patches to roof of 9312 and
then worked with one science kid (only one could make it this date) to
start work on the "hand battery" display piece. Others worked on
communications room display and moving of drawings from A section to
upstairs in hotel.
Al K. will be only one present on the 18th as several of us are at AWA

A report from Joe G.
This week, I did a good deal of work in the telcom building. I cleared
the second room in order to make necessary repairs. I moved three
plugboard PBX's from 9006 to a staging area in the H building to get
them ready for display. I also received a donation for the telcom museum
of several telephones, including some odd Automatic Electric ones.
Theres probably more, but I don't know what right now.

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday, August 4.

2010-08-04T12:07:00.000-04:00

Hello Everyone,

Today we have a regular meeting at 6:45 PM. Main topic - 9010C and
planning for NJ Science Festival.

**Highlighted Future Events** Remember to check and to send events to
calendar@InfoAge.org to have them posted on the planning calendar.

* Aug 15th V-J Day + 65 = WWII Seminar and radar laboratory victory
celebration.
* Sept 25th Wall of Honor 2010
* The 2010 Hauted Hotel - Eight crazy nights Oct 8-9, 15-16, 22-23, &
29-30th.

A report from Ray Chase of the NJARC

Present were: Ron B., Harry K., John T., Ray C., & Al K. Worked on
installing lights in Bldg. 9312, sorted a large batch of club tubes and
secured them in the museum, completed repair on AK console radio for use
in guard shack, worked on communications room in 9032 C and added
security latches to door in EW room.

NJARC held their annual summer swap meet at InfoAge on Saturday 24
July. Because of the "Eagle" situation we could not hold it at our
normal location, the front lawn of cottage #2 so we relocated to the
grass area south of 9032 A. Actually this may have worked out better as
there was more room and shade there. In spite of weather forecasts of
steamy temperatures and possible showers the attendance was good and all
seemed to have a good time. Fortunately the shade and a good steady
breeze kept things reasonably comfortable. A reporting/photographing
team from the Coast Star gave us a good spread in the paper. Special
thanks to the team of Nels & Pete who manicured the grounds so well that
many attendees complimented InfoAge on how well the place is
maintained. It's a ton of work, especially in this hot weather. Don't
have financial results yet but all had a good time and some new locals
came to see InfoAge.

Ray

A report from Joe G.
On Thursday, (with the help of Steve G.) I moved the remaining Blossom
materials to The Madonna House, a non-profit child welfare organization
located in Neptune.
On Friday, I converted the former model train room into a volunteer
lounge. It is outfitted with an air conditioner, sofas and seating, a
table and chairs, a computer with internet access and laser printer, and
the refrigerator from the wireless operator's lounge
On Monday, I emptied the room adjacent to the volunteer lounge, and have
set it up as a store room and pantry. Within its cabinets, things such
as general purpose tools, the projectors, and office supplies are
located. It also holds a working microwave oven and coffee maker. I also
began to work on clearing / cleaning the former gift shop.
On Tuesday, I completed work on the gift shop, and finished up by
organizing the kitchenette across the hall from the volunteer lounge.
See you at the meeting!
Joe

* Sept 25th Wall of Honor 2010

First a note of thanks from Harry K.:
As many of you know, NJARC held our annual Summer Swapmeet
under the trees at InfoAge this past Saturday.
This note is a special thanks to Nels and Pete who worked really
hard in the intense heat to make sure the grounds were really
spiffy. Lots of folks commented on how great the place looked,
so again - Nels and Pete - thanks very much.
Harry Klancer,
vp NJARC

Now a note from Dan Lieb:
On Saturday, July 24, Nels Warren and Pete Reichel helped out NJMT and
NJHDA by skillfully using the forklift to lower the large exhaust out of
the tower in 9057. This will allow us to us the tower as a vent for
clearing gases produced while conserving our cannon and locomotive
pieces. He did more work than I did, and I cannot thank Nels enough.

Next, Nels again helped NJHDA out by using the forklift to pick up and
carry our 3,000+ pound anchor from the OMARC site to in front of the
TelEx Building where it will reside until the lawn at the top of the
drive behind the hotel is properly graded. Again, I cannot thank him
enough.

For now, we hope to get an article in the Coast Star about the move. We
also hope to encourage others to create outdoor attractions for a
walking tour of our science center.

Regards,
Dan Lieb

**It is amazing what Nels can do with the fork lift. He is a
Zen-Master. Nels also relocated picnic tables to a shady location for
the NJARC members and guests to enjoy lunch outside the 9032A cooling
station.

A report from Frank O'Brien...
Just a little update on the happenings in New York on Sunday. I attended
the NextHOPE computer conference, whose attendees are, well, quite
computer savvy (the less said about that, the better). Evan and MARCH
were there, and put together a very well set up exhibit with some of
their artifacts. Certainly the display was very well received - there
was always a big group around the tables, and enough March folks to
answer all the attendees questions. I had my AGC on display, as there
was a gent from MIT (Stephen Cass) who was talking about some "hacks"
that were necessary to ensure the success of the Apollo missions. His
was an excellent lecture, and Stephen is someone we should get to know
better. All in all, we had a nice presence at the conference - kudos
to Evan/March for making it happen.
All the best,
Frank

**InfoAge has been a member of ASTC since 1998. They are advocating for
science center funding...

Dear ASTC Members:

As you know, on June 23 ASTC met with staffers from the office of
Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), who serves as the Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP). During our
productive meeting, we shared our thoughts on the important role science
centers and museums play in informal science education, teacher
professional development, and youth programming. And because one of the
highest priorities on our advocacy agenda is working to make sure that
ASTC members are able to compete for funding from the federal
government, much of the conversation focused on how the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which is due for reauthorization, could
be revised so that science centers and museums are recognized as
“eligible entities” in key portions of the legislation.

As the meeting ended, I promised to provide Senator Harkin’s staffers
with some further background on informal science education, as well as
some suggestions for ESEA reauthorization as that long process moves
forward. A copy of my follow-up letter to the Senator is attached;

---As always, good work Ray and company. Thank you the the members of
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

Report on Ray Chase and the Wednesday team: On Saturday Ray C., Al K.,
Joe G., and Steve G., set up a display at Wall Township center for Wall
Day. Ray had a large pop-up tent, use the field switchboard and as many
WWII era field phones as they could round up. They also had a mine
detector and plenty of additional electronic stuff. Our booth was
visited by all the township committee members.
---Good work Ray and company. It was important to show the flag at this
event.

Reports from Joe G.:
This week consisted of a good deal of prep for Wall Day. On Saturday,
Ray Chase, Al Klase, and I set up a tent and had an InfoAge sampler
booth. Al set up field phones and a shortwave receiver on batteries, as
well as a game of "three card monty" involving a military metal detector
and three boxes with one piece of metal. I brought some Civil Defense
materials and had a similar game of three card monty with a Geiger
counter and Al's WWII radium-dial compass.

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday, June 30.

2010-06-30T16:12:00.001-04:00

Hello Everyone,

We will have a regular meeting at 6:45 PM. Please RSVP so I can
determine if to bring two or three pizzas.

**Highlighted Future Events** Remember to check and to send events to

* Sept 25th Wall of Honor 2010

The Wall Township Committee meeting at InfoAge went well. All the
members were very encouraging in their public comments on our progress.
We thanked the current members for holding this second committee
meeting at InfoAge. We thanked InfoAge BOT members Claire French and
John Cervini, who also attended, for their support for over a decade.
The Township committee members are the current representatives of a body
which has enabled and supported InfoAge since 1994. We thanked them for
the TRUST they have given us and the FUNDS they have placed at our
disposal to maintain the 37 acre historic district. Not every community
would take the risk. For taking that risk we have delivered over $5
million in improvements and the community has given a gift to our nation
by saving this amazing historic site. Thanks to their support the Wall
Township taxpayers are enjoying tax savings at this difficult time
thanks to the work of our volunteers. We challenged the committee to
embrace saving Camp Evans as a community project. The cost of replacing
the remaining roofs is $350,000. Once the roofs are replaced we have
met the minimal terms of the surplus historic properties program. The
buildings will be stabilized. We accepted the historic property and its
buildings and agreed to save the site and its buildings as a historic
site. We asked they use their influence to encourage the Public to
donate to save the roofs. We also pointed out the time is getting
closer for Wall and other local schools schools to partner with
InfoAge. We can provide low cost space for special programs and
possibly even laboratory space. This will reduce taxpayer costs and
help improve the delivery of science history education.

The eagle... The eagle chick has made its first flight and left the
nest. The state will be giving the town permission to remove the
barricades from our parking lot after July 5th. We will be able to cut
the hedges and grass outside the restricted area around cottage 9003 and
its garage. We will be able to use the Marconi Road parking lot for
normal activities. After August 1st the restrictions on the areas north
of Marconi Road will be removed. This will enable us to remove the
fallen branches, repair the roof damage to the 9003 garage, repair the
9003 sewer line problems, continue work on the walking paths along the
river, remove the over-grow along the road to 9004/5 and announce the
completion of three paths and the Rum-runners grove by eagle scouts for
public enjoyment of the river area.

Report from Ray Chase and the Wednesday team:
Present were: Ray C., Al K., Harry K., Dave Snellman, Vince L. and Ron
B. Most of the new men's room stall latches were installed in 9032 and
the rest rooms were cleaned. Wiring for outlets in 9312 was completed.
Work continued on the teletype in the communications room, it's not
fully working yet but no further smoke. Ron has finished painting the
walls in the 9032 C room, the floor is next. We are trying to finalize
a video display to show how a Theremin is really played. Adjustments
were made to the 9032 D&C vestibule ramp to clear an interference.
Venetian blinds salvaged from Brookdale buildings were washed for the
9032 communications room.
Question: are we doing anything for Wall Day??
--Thank you Ray and company

Reports from Joe G.:
This week, I sorted the building drawings I cataloged so as to free up
the upstairs for renovation. Between the Radiological Shield building
and the explosion proof chamber, it was really interesting. Today
(Tuesday), I got some more stuff listed on ebay to hopefully give us
some extra space and some extra cash.
--Thank you Joe.

***Reports are requested from Nels and Pete (who do so much I can not
keep up), Mike G. who is a one man wonder, and others. You guys do great
work - we should record it to show what we have do and to challenge
others to do as well.

*Thank you to Steve Makrinos for the donation of his personal files to
the InfoAge Archives. We will inventory the documents and put post the
list on the web.
*Ron B. donated a metal divers helmet, sea knife and weighted boots to
NJHDA. Dan Leib is ecstatic over the donation. He has a great idea for
a fun exhibit using the helmet.
*NJHDA had a spot on Wednesday the 23rd on News Ch12. It included a
spot inside the shipwreck museum.
*Dan arranged for a film crew to use 9043 for some filming by Proper
Television - They gave us a cash donation.
*We have asked for a estimate to repair the hotel chimney leaks,
complete the re-roofing of the main H-building corridor by 9036/7 D as
well as the 9036 A/B north central corridor entrance. This will
eliminate four major leaks in the roof.
*We sent another CD of labeled aerial photos of Camp Evans from 1971 to
the NPS to help with the NHL application.
*The NJ Senate Bill SCR-85 is in the Veterans Affairs committee. We
hope for further action in September.
*We have word from BRAC that the septic tanks removal work may occur in
July or August. The transfer of 9004 and 9005 may occur in 9011.
*We have started repairing the damaged and fallen sheet rock sections in
9010A.
*The pre-publication book sales for "Camp Evans - the Untold Story"
continue to increase.
*Joe G. has nearly completed a massive archive project. Months ago
volunteers began cataloging the hundreds of architectural drawings of
the 50+ buildings at Camp Evans. John T. helped the project progress.
Finally we took over 9032A, set up lots of tables and sorted for two
days. The last step is to arrange all the drawings, store they away and
list them on our archive web page.
*Thank you to Hannah and Leslie for organizing the west room of 9059
*Thanks to Katie Lobosco of the Coast Star for the nice story and photos
of Nels car show and Mikes' flea market.
*Thanks to a great donation by Laura Parker's drama Club we will finish
the work of creating a stage in 9032A. Laura suggested the name
'InfoStage'.
*Evan K., Jeff B., and Bill D. of MARCH painted a good portion of the
floor in 9010C. Evans actually did physical work. I took photos as
proof. Who says he can only click a mouse.
*Thanks to Nels, Kyle and Pete for watering our plantings. We have
thousands of dollars of plants - this dry spell is threating them.

The Sunday was busy in spite of the heat. On site we had Evan K., Jeff
B,. Bill D., Nels W., Pete R., Joe G., John C., Phil V., Dave Sn., Kyle
B., Dan J., D.J., Scott W., Steve G., Ray C., Dan and Luke G., Lee
Holland, Jamie and Ron B., Norm and Ryan L., and me.

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday, June 16.

2010-06-16T06:43:00.000-04:00

Hello Everyone,

We will be meeting tonight at 6:45PM.

**Highlighted Future Events** Remember to check and to send events to
calendar@InfoAge.org to have them posted on the planning calendar.
* June 19th Classic Car Show & Yard Sale
* June 21st 4PM BOT Meeting
* June 23rd Wall Township Committee holds its meeting at InfoAge.
* Aug 15th V-J Day + 65 = WWII Seminar and radar laboratory victory
celebration.
* Sept 25th Wall of Honor 2010

We have been extremely busy getting ready for our classic car show
and the yard sale. Nels and Pete have the site looking better than ever.

Reports from Ray Chase and the Wednesday team:
Present were Ray C., Harry K., Al K., Dave Snellman and Ron B. Harry
and Dave scrapped and re-painted the RTM outside sign that had suffered
from the winter weather. Ron continued as a first class painter in the
communications room, 9032 C. Al continues on planning for that room.
We also made a trip to Freehold to work on our display at the Jewish
Heritage museum that open on June 1st.
Present were: Ray C., Harry K., Dave Snellman and Ron B. Ron was back
to his painting role in the 9032 Communications room. Some planning for
9312 was done alone with work on repairing the wooden walk up to the
9032 D & C vestibule. The stall door latches in the 9032 rest rooms are
being replaced with new ones; the originals are too gummed up with years
of paint.

Reports from Joe G.:
This week, I have nearly finished sorting through InfoAge for garage
sale fodder. If anyone has something that they would be willing to
donate to the garage sale to be sold, please contact me at
starbase89@gmail.com. My current plan is that on Wednesday before the
meeting, everyone will come out to the yard sale section to make sure I
am not selling any heirlooms or treasures. I also got help in continuing
the organization of 9010, to hopefully finish it soon. On Sunday, I
drove out to a couple of Lowes Hardware stores, and obtained all needed
lights and hardware for the main corridor in 9032.
This week, Judy Warren and I began to set up the garage sale merchandise
in 9037. Between arranging things and pricing, it will probably take a
few more days to complete. I also worked on Monday to clean up the
"clearing barrel" area near the front gate. The garbage in there was
enough to half-fill a trash bag. I began work this weekend on a holding
bin for garbage bags that will be located outside the gate, up against
the guard shack 9093. Lastly, I have been helping Steve G. in working on
bringing the 8-legged testing tower back to life as our WiFi hotspot and
security outpost. Between Saturday and Sunday, I entered ~350 drawings
into the database, and more day should finish the pile. I put some
interesting ones, namely a contamination report from 1996, and the
electrical layouts for the hotel's blackout system.

A report from our June 9th Wednesday meeting from John Cervini:
Dave Snellman: In the WWII memorial communications room equipment
decisions to be made by Al Klase. TTY in exhibit. A switch board
planned, plus tank communications and Jammers.
Steve G.: Working on removing stained and damaged drop ceiling in
9010A. Looking to find power feed to 9178 tower. Work on Lock system
and workshop continues.
Chris Szabo, a new member joined our Wednesday meeting
Lou R.: Had the quote for the dining room and lounge AC ready to be
signed. This project is funded by an excellent gift by ITT.
Dan L.: In 9057 the door jams are up and primed. 9032 area is cleaned
for the car show. Placemat program is progressing. Brochure exchange
project going well. Articles for next Newsletter due July 31st .
Contactor done with all the work except the clean-up and inspection of
9029, 31 and 34. News 12 series – ‘Treasure Hunting’ will have a
program on NJHDA.
Terry L.: Membership program going well. We have gained nearly $3500 in
donations. We are creating standard letters, thank you and other
forms. Terry will have a membership table at the garage sale. The new
‘down-sized’ 2 sided brochure will cost $800 for 5000.
Will S.: His group will begin working on their wave science exhibit in
9010A.
Mike G.: Good progress on the garage sale. Thanks to Dan L. for making
banners.

--Thank you to all, thank you to Joe G for getting the pizza and thank
you to John for the meeting notes.

Bob Giordano has his book “Camp Evans – The Untold Story” at the
printers. This a tremendous accomplishment. I hope to remember to
attach an order form to this email before I hit ‘send’.

John Cervini’s WWII electronic warfare exhibit is getting better every
week. Thanks to Ray C. for securing one of the ‘Invasion of Japan’
radio jammers for the exhibit. Luckily this one and thousands like it
were not needed.

Boy Scout Tim Troppoli is now an Eagle. He is the 16th young man who
has earned his eagle award helping preserve Camp Evans. Tim finished
the ‘Fallout shelter theater’. Thank you to Steve G., Dan L and many
others who helped Tim with his project. Our 17th Eagle could be Alex
Lo, grandson of a D-Day soldier. His court of honor is planned for Aug.
15th in our dining room. Alex made repairs to 9029 – the WWII guard
Headquarter building.

The Eagles - things have been quiet. The last report an eagle watcher
made to the police was not followed up by the state eagle patrol.
Please do not enter the closed off area. During the car show we are
simply to use our Marconi Road parking lot for parking only. If you use
the parking lot, you must go immediately and directly into a building.
We have a new layout for this event. The Coast Star has a story of how
Sea Girt was fined $53,000 by the Federal Wildlife Service and the NJ
DEP for the 2007 death of a beach plover chick. The parties were in
court for years. At $53K for a small plover, we do not want to find the
price on an eagle.

Bill M. Cablevision has let us know the segment on our TIROS celebration
on his Neighborhood Journal is now available via Cablevisions ‘On
Demand’. Thank you to Bill.

State Senator Sean T. Kean and Senator James Beach has introduced Senate
Concurrent Resolution No. 85 on March 4, 2010 which recognizes Camp
Evans for its designation for its as a State and National Historic
District and supporting its preservation as World War II living
memorial. You can read the bill by visiting the NJ Legislature website
and entering SCR85. We should discuss ways to support the passage of
this bill and how to use it to create publicity. I attended a
breakfast sponsored by Assemblyman Dave Rible to meet Lt. Governor Kim
Guadagno. I gave the Lt. Governor a folder with a formal letter to
request her support for the bill and an introduction to Camp Evans.

As you know saving Camp Evans (The Signal Corps Radar Laboratory)
honors and represents the tens of thousands of New Jersey residents and
veterans of the greatest generation who designed and tested the prototypes
as well as the those who manufactured the radio, radar and other
advanced electronics that helped win WII. The National Park Service is
in process to designate Camp Evans as a National Historic Landmark for
its WWII Home front service. To quote President Truman on August 6,
1945, "The Battles of the laboratories held fateful risks for us as well
as the battles of the air, land and sea, and we have now won the battles
of the laboratories as we have won the other battles." To quote Winston
Churchill, "This was a secret war, whose battles were lost or won
unknown to the public; and only with difficulty is it comprehended, even
now, by those outside the small high scientific circles concerned. No
such warfare had ever been waged by mortal men. ---Winston Churchill

Thanks to Board Member Jim Allen a group of us will be meeting with
Assemblyman Declan J. O'Scanlon Jr. to discuss keeping the Fort Monmouth
Museum in NJ, specifically at Camp Evans. You know we will ask his
support for the bill also.

We have been invited to have a classroom size exhibit at the The *New
Jersey Science and Engineering Festival* * * www.njsciencefestival.org
Note a InfoAfe logo in their
sponsor list on their homepage. The festival will be taking place at
the Clifton High School Complex (the largest single campus high school
in New Jersey, with 100,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor exhibition
space) and Essex County (Caldwell) Airport on the weekend of October 23
and 24, 2010. It is a satellite event of the *USA Science and
Engineering Festival*, which will be taking place on the National Mall
in Washington, DC. Here is the link to the USA Festival
www.usasciencefestival.org

We are making progress on our Community Block Grant thanks to Larry
Tormey and John Truhan. This will repair many of the broken curbs and
sidewalks around the hotel, 9032 and the center entrance to 9010.

The 22 international exchange students (AFS) who enjoyed their visit to
InfoAge sent us a nice donation.

Thanks to Pete R., Matt and Dan G. They opened the expanded Military
Technology Museum vehicle display in 9011. It looks great. They had it
ready for the veterans visit and the anniversary of V-E day
At the request of Randy G. and the Monmouth County Historical
Commission's we attended the follow-up meeting on the Weekend in Olde
Monmouth. We are looking forward to next years event.

After Nels cleaned up the mess behind 9033 we improved the landscaping
and planted several dozen variegated hosta plants to make the area look
nice and discourage its use as a catch all area.

Thank you to Judy W. for making the membership database updates,
preparing dozens of thank you notes, taking an inventory of items in the
hotel and recording the folder tabs in our files for easy information
and document location.

Thanks to Michele and Blossom our friends at the New Outlook Pioneers
were about to use extra care-pack donations for their underprivileged
Backpack program.

Thank you to Dan L. for making the new sign to point visitors to the
MTMof NJ historic vehicle exhibit.

Mike G. had a truck load of wood chip mulch delivered to improve the

blog and also thanks to Michele for creating the InfoAge facebook page.
Cori is setting up a Twitter account for us.

work - we should record it to show what we have do and to challenge
others to do as well.

Thank you to Dave Sice and members of the International Television
Association for the visit and the kind $$$ donation.

Our board of trustees has expanded by five new members, possibly a
sixth. The new members are Thomas Gagliano, John Cervini, Jim Allen,
Barb McMorrow and Robert Palazzo. The June Board meeting will be held
on a Wednesday so our meetings will overlap. Our membership has
elected our BOT representative, but as I have not told Mike G. he is it
and he has not yet accepted or taken the oath of office

The Eagles - things are calmer but, it still has potential for more
issues. As a review. A third of the parking lot is closed off. Do not
enter the closed off area. Note the new signs. The persons who watch
the eagles are reporting our activities to the state fish and wildlife
people. They have called in a number of issues. Please do not approach
or tell these persons anything. We are not to make noise during our
events. If you use the parking lot you must go immediately and
directly into a building. We can not hold the car-show in the parking
lot. We are working on a new layout for that event. Do not walk along
Marconi road or drive near cottage 9001. We can not mow or do any
property maintenance along Marconi road. The state will be posting
signs in our parking lot shortly. We will discuss this at the meeting.
This is not a joke. I have been threatened with a federal summons, if
there are any problems with the eagle chick.. Luckily, the eagles are
doing well in the location they chose. The hundreds of cars, trucks and
motorcycles passing by them on Marconi road do not bother them.
According to the state, just we do. Remember we are being watched and
these people are reporting on our activities to the state on a daily
basis.

Thanks to Bill M. Cablevision has a great segment on our TIROS
celebration on his Neighborhood Journal. We played a taped copy for
our meeting attendees outside the Cablevision viewing area. Another
great piece by Bill. Thanks to Dan J. for getting the player ready.

We have been invited to have a classroom size exhibit at the The *New
Jersey Science and Engineering Festival* * * www.njsciencefestival.org
The organizers are looking into
arranging a bus trip for attendees to visit InfoAge duing the
festival. The festival will be taking place at the Clifton High School
Complex (the largest single campus high school in New Jersey, with
100,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor exhibition space) and Essex County
(Caldwell) Airport on the weekend of October 23 and 24, 2010. It is a
satellite event of the *USA Science and Engineering Festival*, which
will be taking place on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Here is
the link to the USA Festival www.usasciencefestival.org

We are making progress on our Community Block Grant thanks to Larry
Tormey and John Truhan. This will repair many of the broken curbs and
sidewalks around the hotel, 9032 and the center entrance to 9010.

The 22 international exchange students (AFS) enjoyed their visit to
InfoAge and Camp Evans. Thank you to Pete R. Joe G., Mike G., John T.,

***This report would be more accurate and have better spelling, even
better grammar if I had reports from Nels and Pete (who do so much I can

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday, May 12.

2010-05-12T09:05:00.001-04:00

Hello Everyone,

We will be meeting tonight at 6:45PM.

**Highlighted Future Events** Remember to check and to send events to
calendar@InfoAge.org to have them posted on the planning calendar.

**Rocket Science Education Weekend canceled due to State Eagle Issues
* June 19th Classic Car Show & Yard Sale
* Aug 15th V-J Day + 65 = WWII Seminar and radar laboratory victory
celebration.

It have been a extremely busy time. Good Progress - high stress

Our audit is complete. All is good. We now have an audited financial
report for foundations who require one. We need to tune up a few
procedural items in our record keeping.

Our board of trustees is expanding by four new members, possibly a
fifth. We will discuss how to appoint a representative from the
membership at the meeting.

Important issue. You will notice a third of the parking lot is closed
off. Do not enter the closed off area. The persons who watch the
eagles are reporting our activities to the state fish and wildlife
people. They have called in a number of issues. Please do not approach
or tell these persons anything. We are not to make noise during our
events. Thus we have canceled the Rocket Education event. If you use
the parking lot you must go immediately and directly into a building.
We can not hold the car-show in the parking lot. We are working on a
new layout for that event. Do not walk along Marconi road or drive
near cottage 9001. We can not mow or do any property maintenance along
Marconi road. The state will be posting signs in our parking lot
shortly. We will discuss this at the meeting. This is not a joke. I
have been threatened with a federal summons, if there are any problems
with the eagle chick. Luckily, the eagles are doing well in the
location they chose. The hundreds of cars, trucks and motorcycles
passing by them on Marconi road do not bother them. According to the
state, just we do. Remember we are being watched and these people are
reporting on our activities to the state on a daily basis.

As you know the TIROS Celebration went well. Bill M. of Cablevision has
a great segment on our TIROS celebration on his Neighborhood Journal. I
taped a copy. We can view it on the VCR Dan J set up for us.

We are making progress on our Community Block Grant thanks to Larry
Tormey and John Truhan. This will repair many of the broken curbs and
sidewalks around the hotel, 9032 and the center entrance to 9010.

Congratulations to Nels W., Pete R., Matt and Dan G. They opened the
expnded Military Technology Museum vehicle display in 9011. It looks
great. They had it ready for the veterans visit and the anniversary of
V-E day

Thanks to Randy G. and the Monmouth County Historical Commission's

-----------------------------
1) Reports form Ray Chase and the Wednesday group:
Present were Ray C., Harry K., Dave Snellman, Vince L., and Al K. The
balance weights for the doors to 9032 A section were installed so doors
operate easily. If it is desired to lock this section (not a bad idea)
a lock and latches need to be added. Continued work on 9032 C
communications and EW rooms. Went on scrounging search of buildings to
be razed to collect up hardware, venetian blinds, etc. Moved more stuff
to storage in H building. Worked on planning for the Jewish museum in
Freehold.
Present were: Ray C., Al K, Vince L., Dave Snellman, Harry K., John T.,
Steve G. and Joe G. Most of the day was taken up hosting the group of
25 veterans including several ladies. It was good experience for all
and we learned some things that we must alter to make the tour more
comfortable for seniors. ADA access is sorely needed. I was not sure
that the vehicle tour would work but it went fine and was most
impressive. It was great on Wednesday but when I saw what Nels and crew
did between Wednesday and Sunday I was amazed at their effort and
how superb it looked.
The Divers museum and the MARCH museum were also open and manned.
Some clean-up had to be done quickly before the group arrived, we must
strive to keep the place neat and not just dump trash anywhere we feel.
Some work was done on the future communications room in 9032C and Al K.
repaired a WWII field telephone switchboard for the communications
display so we can operate field phones through it.
Thank you Ray and company

2) An update from Ron and OMARC:
Old computer equipment removed from truck disposed of by Jeff Harshman
and Art Golberg. Equipment taken to Monmouth County reclamation center.
Also, storm windows removed from bldg 9116 and put in storage by Rick
Kennard.
Jeff also hopes to snake out the sewer line at 9116 to the septic tank
sometime this week.l
All mentioned above are OMARC members.
***Thank you Ron

3) Progress by Joe G. This week, I worked a lot on the guard shack, in
both the office and the back closet. The mailbox is now in the back
closet with the soda machine, and the room is better organized overall.
I have also prepared the guard shack office for use as an office.
Between Saturday and Sunday, I had a good number of visitors to the
fallout shelter. Additionally, I have cleared out the cottage of most
of its junk. Lastly, I pulled two good metal shelves out of the moving
truck on Sunday before it filled with scrap.
This week, I started working on moving some of the flotsam in the hotel
and it's basement to the yard sale pile. I also continued work on
emptying Cottage 1 (9002) of its tons of stuff. As far as last week, I
got the office in the guard shack more-or-less functional as an office
for Judy Warren. I also cleaned and organized the guard shack closet and
placed a mail box in there.
***GO OLD JOE!!!

4) AN update from John T.
1 The new shutoffs are installed on the sink upstairs in the board
room. Now I just have to connect the drain.
2 I fastened all the top-heavy book cases to the wall
3 I filled a the book cases in the conference room with the bound
newspapers and filled two book cases in the hallway with library books
4 I cut to size the 4 screws needed to mount the hardware on the one
book case in the hallway
5 I relocated all the smoke detectors in the cottage
6 I salvaged lumber John C. needed, but I ran out of time so I did not get
it ripped down to size
7 I cleaned a lot of the junk up in the e-shop
8 Dave Sica and I brought 3 pallets of Sarnoff stuff down to the Early
Television Convention
9 I'm working with the Camden County Historical Society on a date when
they will come pick their stuff up. It's looking like the end of this
month.
***Thank you John

5) Dan Jacobs hand dug the dirt behind 9097, aka the guard shack. This
helps the water drain better and prevents further building damage Dan
is usually on site each weekday morning around 9AM for his InfoAge
exercise. You are invited to join him.

6) Dan L. and the contractor Kerry are making the repairs to the
firehouse 9031, 9029 and 9034. This is thanks to a grant from the
Monmouth County Historical Commission.

7) Thank you to Terry L., and the members of the membership committee.
Nearly 50 members have renewed their membership resulting in nearly
$2000 in new funds.

8) The Wall ROTC continue practice in 9032A. Last week and this week
Wall High has been using 9032 for Advance Placement testing. They were
short of space at the HS. Nearly 250 students used our facility.

9) Thanks to Bob Judge and Trinity Episcopal Church of Asbury Park we
now have a 13 passenger bus. It is behind the hotel. Thank you Bob!!!

10) Thanks to Steve Makrinos the Fort Monmouth Industrial Reps
Association (IRA) held a luncheon in our hotel. Many of the reps worked
at Camp Evans. They are making a donation for the tours. Thanks to
Steve G. for being tour guide. Thanks to Mike G. for getting the place
set up.

11) Mel Nussbaum will be bring the five new dioramas to todays meeting.
His radio and first computer dioramas are a big hit with the family
visitors. Nice work Mel.

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 planted 100+ hosta plants on the west hotel hill to improve the
look and reduce the hill mowing work for Pete and Nels.

14) Thank you to John B. for all the recent website improvements. We
now have a hit counter on every page. We also have a new frontpage graphic

15) Thank you to Dave Sica for continuing to post information to the
InfoAge blog and also thanks to Michele for creating the InfoAge
facebook page. Cori is setting up a Twitter account for us.

16) Sadly I must report no earmarks were submitted by Congressman Smith
and his party. So no help for the leaking roofs. The state will not
help and the town is out of money too. So we have to reach out to the
public.

***Time to get to my paying job... Sorry for the items I have not

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

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

1) First a report form Ray Chase:
Present were: Steve G., Steve R., Dave Snellman, Harry K., Vinnie
Lobosco and myself. Vinnie and I transferred several van loads of
"stuff" stored in the Power House to our storage area in 9310. I hope
to consolidate our stuff in one place, sort the wheat from the chaff and
organize to get rid of excess. BTW, I saw Richard Estes this past
weekend and he asked if we were going to have an auction this fall, he's
ready to come back. I'm working on listing all donations and getting
records to you in a timely manner so we do not have a fiscal year end
crunch.
Steve R. worked in the library then joined Harry, Dave and Vinnie
working on fixing and cleaning windows in the planned communications
exhibit room in 9032 C.
Georgine Eberight and Michael Berman from the Jewish Heritage Museum of
Monmouth County (JHMOMC) arrived a little after noon to visit the
museum. Steve G. took them on a complete tour of the facility and then

exhibit. We will meet again next week to firm up plans, I am the
contact point.
Steve G. among other chores is working to repair overhead lighting in
our 9310 storage area that is over 50% defective.
Door closer weights and chains were repaired on vestibule door to 9032
C. More work needs to be done on these doors.

Thank you Ray and company

2) John C. spent hours the weekend in the WWII Communications and EW in
the room in 9032 doing preparation for the exhibit. He cleaned and
repaired windows.

note on siding. All the our WW2 wood frame buildings use Novelty siding
(pattern 105) with a six inch face. The gate 1 entrance building (9093)
was built in the 1950s. It has 8 inch face. Of all the wooden
buildings to be demolished only one by the Evans Ave fence have 8 inch
siding to harvest for repair of 9093. We need to get siding off that
building before its end.

8) Please honor the 'Endangered Species Area' signs and give the eagle

officials.

9) It is amazing how many memberships have expired. Get your $25 in to
help us with this good cause. Michele R., Terry L., Steve M., and other
members of the membership Will meet again soon for a politics free meeting.

10) The NJARC members and others are helping find information on the

We will enjoy pizza, discuss this years calendar, current projects and
upcoming events.

**Highlighted Future Events** Remember to check and to send events to

>>>>Recent events and progress: There has been a ton. Please email
things I miss to fill in the gaps.
So much is going on I can not keep up... Plus my regular job is killing me.
Great events - Good Progress - Great press coverage
-----------------------------
1) The NJARC auction was excellent. Many radio items of which we have
duplicates of or do not have room to store have found new homes with
persons who will care for them. Hopefully, they will become family
collectibles. Much work was needed by many persons to make the auction
a success. First, thank you to Ray Chase for his leadership, his team
and the Estes Brothers. Ohio residents, Richard and John Estes, once
again drove to NJ to donate their expertise as professional auctioneers
to help us along. Thank you to Ray & Edith, Toby was in the kennel,
John D. and Steve R. were at the front table, Marsha S. and Edith were
at the check out table. A number of persons helped set up the room,
helped prepare the auction lots and with the auction itself. Forgive me
for omissions, I recall seeing Dave S., Richard L., Steve G., Sal, Aaron
and others running about. Food was arranged by Mike G. via our friends
at the Country Kitchen. Ray, does not have a final number yet, but he
keeps teasing me with emails with a number around $6,000. Thank you,
we can use the money...

2) Congratulations to Dan L. and a thank you to the Monmouth County
Historical Commission. The commission awarded us a grant to repair the
structural damage to three WWII wooden structures. This will enable us
to have 9029, 9031 and 9034 ready for the next steps...electric, HVAC,
insulation, sheetrock and some paint. In the past the commission has
helped us replace the roof on the TIROS building and repair the roof
damage to the 9006 WWII addition. Chairman Mike R., Dan L. Karin C. and
I attended the award meeting to thank the commissioners.

3) Thanks to Steve M., Chairman Mike R., BOT vice-chair Claire F.
guidance from Jeff S. of Congressman Smith's office we have filed an
Appropriations request. If we get this money, this will 'save the
day'. We will be able to stop the water leaks and fix the roof damage
to the remaining H-buildings, re roof 9013 and 9004. A leaking roof is
the cancer of historic buildings. The funds will also enable us to put
HVAC, repair the electric and plumbing in 9010 B, C, and D. We have
two bids for the HVAC in 9010 D and are looking for more to get the best
price/value.

4) The weather has be a major challenge this year. Snow was cleared
due to the many nasty storms. Thank you to Mike G. for the equipment.
The operators: Mike G., Steve G., John T., Joe G., Pete R., Kyle B. and
other did a great job with our plows, gas snow throwers and human
powered snow shovels. The parking lot was so clean only the painted
lines were left. Thanks to Nels who managed the work, made equipment
repairs and even called in reinforcements. This saved us lots of money
and we did not have to ask Wall Township Public Works for help. They
had the entire town to worry about. Dan J., Kyle B., DJ and others have
begun clearing the dozens of tree limbs that fell due to the snow.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that there are no March snow falls.

4) The lights in the TIROS building, 9162, are all re-wired and the lens
covers are back in place on 75 lights. Yes, seventy-five ceiling
lights. The room looks nearly identical to the April 1960 photos
published in National Geographics magazine. We have made the ceiling
sheet rock repairs. The first coat of joint compound is on. Plumbing
next. We moved lots of stuff out of the building to our main campus.
The TIROS anniversary is April 1st and the birth of hurricane tracking
the 9th. We will celebrate on Sunday the 11th at 2 PM. Sadly, no one
from NASA, NOAA, the weather channel or news 12 have replied to any
emails asking for a speaker. So we will us in house resources.

5) In 9032 the EW room is all ready. John C. spent hours in the room
doing preparation for the exhibit.

6) The restored WWII restrooms in 9032B & C passed inspection by our
Wall Township building inspector. Thank you to Steve G. and Mark C. of
C & H Plumbing for meeting the inspector.

7) The Monroe Township Veterans Council will be visiting with 25 WWII
Vets. Ray C. is coordinating this.

8) Able, Michele and the Blossom volunteers are breaking all records
with enhanced museum attendance thanks to the Disney ticket program.
Able and Michele are spending lots of time sorting and inventorying the
donations for foster children ‘Care-packs’ and the many excellent
programs Blossom hosts. One evening I left them at 10 PM and they
worked until 4 AM. This effort has brought us more supplies than we
could have imagined. Blossom has reached an amazing milestone and
accomplishment. They have supplied Care-packs to every DYFS office in
the state of NJ, plus additional care items for foster children. This
is an amazing accomplishment.

9) We have a number of Eagle Scouts at work. Alex Lo's project to
repair the exterior of 9029 was approved by council. Zack visited on
Sunday with his plans to expand our river front trails to Watson Road.
We hope the council approves his proposal.

10) BOT member Bob G. is making great progress on The Book. Bob has
better resolution digital copies of the photos he has selected for
publication. Thank you to helpers like BOT member Larry Tormey for the
editing.

11) Dan L. has created a set of Edward Henderson posters for a traveling
exhibit. They are on display in Wall townhall.

12) Dan L. reminds us your articles for the next InfoAge Marconigraph /
InfoAge Signaleer are due by midnight March 31st .

13) If you do not know, we have a bald eagle nest on Camp Evans. Net,
please honor the 'Endangered Species Area' signs and give the eagle
family room to raise young.

14) Remember to send your calendar entries to Webmaster John via email –
calendar@InfoAge.org Thank you to John
for setting up the google calendar and many other web improvements.

15) It is amazing how many memberships have expired. Get your $25 in
to help us with this good cause. Michele R., Terry L., Steve M., and
other members of the membership committee met on Monday.

16) Joe G. has the hotel copies working again. Thank you Joe.

17) 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.

18) We took deliver of six large glass front 72" tall cabinets for the
Wall Township archive room. Thia way we can keep the bound issues of
the Wall Herald and other items of the town and Old Wall Historical
Society safe for research by residents.

19) Thank you to Able, Michelle and Bella for washing and cleaning the
9093 hallway. Also to Steve G. for straighting the 9093 office. We all
need to make an effort to keep 9093, the hotel lounge and other public
places looking better.

20) We are 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 ww will get short notice on when the request is accepted and
will be acted upon.

These past two Sunday was super busy with lots of visitors and families.
On site were Dave Sica, Dave Sn., Phil V. Ray & Edith C., Marsha & Jerry
S., Harry K.and others in the NJARC museum. Steve G., John T., and Joe
G were all over the place as usual. Jeff F. and Evan K had the MARCH
exhibit open. Neil N., Dan and Terry L. had the NJHDA shipwreck museum
open. Able & Michele R., Bella R., Jake D. and conscripted visitors
were sorting, inventorying and moving the hundreds of Blossom
donations. Dan J. and sons were in the computer deconstruction lab.
JoAnne and Cicely were in the lobby.

I know I missed lots of folks and work actions - sorry. The last two
weeks were also crazy. Good crazy with good progress

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.

historian to our PC based videos.

3) We are making progress rebuilding the old 2” wide blinds – thanks to
Matt O. and Steve G. for getting the supplies.  This Sunday, Matt and
Jim Orgill wrote procedures and took photographs for a 'How-to-rebuild
blinds".  If we rebuild the binds in 9032 A-C we will save nearly $6,000
in costs.  If we could buy replacements in the same old ugly wide style
the cost would be $300 per window = $27,000 for the A - C.  Big savings!!

4) The lights in 9162 are all re-wired.  We need to get going.  We lost
two weekends due to the snow.  We have the covers to replace and some
ceiling sheet rock repairs.  The TIROS anniversary is April 1st.

5) In 9032 the EW room is all ready.  Bob P. will be replaced the light
fixtures in this room and others.

6) The restored WWII restrooms in 9032B & C may be checked by the
building inspector tomorrow thanks to Steve G. and Mark C. of C & H
Plumbing.

7) The Monroe Township Veterans Council will be visiting with 25 WWII
Vets on Wednesday, April 27th .   We need to have a nice tour for the
gents.  Ray C. will firm up a date with them.  Ray did you call them?

8) Matt Orgill's Eagle Ceremony went excellent on Sunday the 7th (the
6th was snowed out).  Mike G. had the dining room looking as good as
new.  He hand stripped the wax buildup and re-waxed the floors. 
Amazing.  I read a letter of congratulations for Nels and Judy W. to
Matt.  Our hope and Mike G.'s hope is this will be the first on many
Eagle Court of Honor ceremonies at InfoAge.

9) Able, Michele and the Blossom volunteers are breaking all records
with enhanced museum attendance thanks to the Disney ticket program. 
Michele is spending lots of time sorting and inventorying the donations
for foster children ‘Care-packs’ and the many excellent programs Blossom
hosts.  This effort has brought our more supplies than we could have
imagined.  Blossom has even helped the local DYFS office with the
supplies donated.

10) Future Eagle Scout Zack visited on Sunday with his plans to expand
our river front trails to Watson Road.  We hope the council approves his
proposal.

11) This Sunday, Jim Orgill, Bill Kortenhouse, Steve Makrinos., and I
were guests of Monarch Energy Associates (aka Mike Golub) at the 47th
Annual Monmouth County Republicans Lincoln Day Dinner.  We enjoyed a
great time and great food with Mike and Kathy G.    BOT members Steve
M., Claire French and I did our best to update our supporting
republicans friends on InfoAge's excellent progress.  We gave out our
cards and newsletters.  It was great to update Congressman Chris Smith
and tell him to look for our Earmark request.  We got to see InfoAge
volunteer Assemblyman Dave Rible.  State Senator Sean Kean told Mike G.
the bill to name Camp Evans the state of NJ WWII living memorial is
almost ready.  We got to see former assemblyman Steve Corodemus.  Steve
was the host of our 2005 WWII Living Memorial Dedication.  We also got
to see Mike Fitzgerald the former head of the original Marconi Park
Reuse advisory committee.  His committee (including our BOT members John
Truhan and Claire French with the urging of our BOT chairman Mike Ruane)
recommended Wall Township give InfoAge a chance to save Camp Evans back
in 1994.  We got to meet new Freeholder John Curly as well as a number
of current and former Freeholders who have supported us over the years. 
We did our best to meet as many person we thought could help us.  Thank
you Mike and Monarch Associates for putting us in the same room as all
these key persons.

12) Thank you to BOT member Steve Makrinos for preparing our request for
federal funding (earmark) for Congressman Smith's consideration.

13) BOT member Bob G. is making great progress on The Book.  Bob and I
will be working to find better resolution digital copies of the photos
he has selected for publication.  Thank you to helpers like BOT member
Larry Tormey for the editing.

14) Congratulations to Dan Lieb for successfully preparing, submitting
and winning a Monmouth County Historical Commission Grant for InfoAge. 
The ceremony is on Feb 22nd at the Hall of Records - 7 PM.  Great job
Dan!  The matching funds will repair structural damage to the frames of
WWII wood structures 9029, 9031 and 9034.

15) NJARC had a great meeting in 9032A.  Thank you to President Richard
for giving me a few minutes to say thank you to the group, for all the
progress they have brought to InfoAge / Camp Evans.
They have grown with us from the cottage 9003 to the NJARC Radio
Technology Museum packed with artifacts.  They are now poised for
expansion into the 'H' buildings.  A NJARC advance party has already
colonized a storage room in 9010A.

16) Dan L. has created a set of Edward Henderson posters for a traveling
exhibit.  They may visit Wall town hall.

17) John B., and the website committee are looking at Joomla.

18) Another great history find and win by Ray C.  A WWII technical
manual was offered on ebay.  A photo of IFF equipment had some buildings
in the background.  On close examination they turned out to be 9017 and
9037.

19) Steve R. and members of the archive committee are working on an
Archive policy for InfoAge.  Thank you to Steve for his leadership in
this effort.  Steve also cataloged the set of Marconi drawings donated
to InfoAge by the Sarnoff Library.  We hope to add them to our
finding-aide on our website.

20) Thank  you to John T. and Joe G. for continuing to catalog our
handreds of Camp Evans drawings.

21) Dan L. reminds us your articles for the next InfoAge Marconigraph /
InfoAge Signaleer are due by midnight March 31st .   Thank you rot Frank

other members of the membership committee will be starting on outreach soon.

24) Blossom and OCAPA are teaming up to organize the second InfoAge Flea
market and stuff sale.  Details to follow.

25) Our web committee is taking shape under John B’s technical
leadership.  John, Steve G. and Michele have begun looking into using
Joomla to enable more persons to contribute to our web content.

26) Thanks to Joe G. for working on getting us an improved copier.  We
hope to get the old copier up and running soon.

27) The NJARC members are agreeable the help find information on the
industries in the1945 list of NJ companies who earned the Army-Navy E –
award .  We hope to contact them for a donation in honor of their WWII
accomplishments.

These past two Sunday was super busy with lots of visitors and families.
On site were Dave Sica, Dave Sn., Phil V. Ray & Edith C., Marsha & Jerry
S., Harry K.and others in the NJARC museum.  Steve G., John T., and Joe

open.  Mike G., was getting ready for the Eagle court of honor and
plowing.  Able & Michele R., Bella R., and conscripted visitors were

Dan J. and sons were in the computer deconstruction lab.  Jim and Matt
O. plus new volunteer Jake D. were working on the blinds.  JoAnne was in
the lobby. Norm and Ryan L. were delivering video updates.  I know I
missed lots of folks - sorry.  The last two weeks were crazy.  Good
crazy with progress.

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.

The Garden State Central Model Railroad Club, Inc. (100% InfoAgemembers) sponsored a holiday train show at InfoAge for the fourthconsecutive year. Originally scheduled to run for the two weekendsbefore Christmas, the second weekend was postponed until to January dueto the big snow storm. During the two weekends, the exhibit drew justover 1200 people to InfoAge, providing large crowds for the trainswhich spilled over to Mike G's village display and the other museumexhibits that were open. At times the crowd was so large there werelines waiting to get into the train room, which featured over 20simultaneously operating model trains ranging in size from tiny N-scaleto live steam G-gauge indoor/outdoor trains. The club's exhibit wasalso open during Mike G's InfoAge fund raiser where another 30 or sopeople came to see the trains.

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday, January 6.

2010-01-06T15:32:00.000-05:00

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year,

We will have a Wednesday planning meeting this week. We will start at
6:30 PM, just a little earlier. We will enjoy pizza, discuss this years
calendar, current projects and possibly break into work groups.

Welcome to a new decade. The decade of the bad BRAC is over. The
Base Realignment And Closure staff of Fort Monmouth and then the
Pentagon have failed to crush us. Their goal was to get us to walk away
so they could sell the 37 acres of Camp Evans to developers to help with
their budget. Thanks to repeated help from Congressman Smith, former
Wall Township attorney Roger McLaughlin, Bob McAllen and the RAB, and
Betsy Merritt of the National Trust for Historic Preservation the Camp
Evans Historic District is still here.

We enter this year, 2010 with many historic anniversaries that
underscore the importance of our site; the TIROS 50th, April 1st launch
& 9th birth of hurricane tracking; the 65th anniverasy of VE Day on May
6th and VJ day on August 15th. We have a number of exciting
possibilities. We could see our site named the State of New Jersey WWII
Living Memorial and our site could be elevated to National Landmark
Status as recommended by the NPS National Landmark Theme Study - WWII
and the Home Front. Plus, we are just 4 years away from the 100th
anniversary of the completion of the site as the largest wireless
station in the Marconi Network of World Encircling High-Powered Wireless
Stations.

Besides the repair of the damage created by BRAC and by time, we face
the challenges of growth. We are in a good place. We can use the
resources of the Association of Science and Technology Centers (ASTC),
the preservation guidance provided by the NJ State Historic Preservation
Office and the National Park Service to help us along. We have
excellent volunteers who care about the Camp Evans Historic district and
are dedicated to the mission of InfoAge. We have a growing membership
and a growing support base. We have credentials - we are Preserve
America Stewards. Camp Evans is a Save America's Treasures Project and
the Township of Wall and the County of Monmouth WWII Living Memorial.
There are so many good possibilities available for us to grasp.

Welcome to 2010 and our decade.

**Highlighted Events this week**

>>>>Recent events and progress:

-> The Very Marconi Christmas by Mike and Kathryn Golub: This event was
excellent. Besides the fun, food and a chance to be together without
tools in hand, Mike and Kathryn raised over $10 thousand net - new
dollars. All expenses were paid for and donated by Mike and family.
Mike's unbelievable lighted Christmas Village on display in the dining
room was impressive and enjoyed by all. Mike's networking brought many
new visitors. We also had return visits by NJ State Senator Sean Kean
and former InfoAge volunteer, Assemblyman Dave Rible. InfoAge Board of
Trustee Members Claire French and Steve Makrinos were in attendance to
meet prospective new supporters. Thanks to all who helped Mike. Bernie
R. and Bob B. relocated their lighted telegraph exhibit to Mike village
of the event.

-----------------------------
A few items of progress to note: Help with the many things I have note
recorded - email them to me for next e-news.
-Steve G., John T and Joe G. have been busy in 9400 making basic repairs
and setting up a temporary shop.
-We fixed the 9162 heat issue. Steve G. insulated and boarded up the
open ventilation louvers left open allowing the heating unit
condensation units to freeze. We may still have an intermittent
problem. But, the Wall ROTC is able to practice in the warmth.
-Nels W., Matt O and others have been consolidating material in the
H-buildings.
- Dan L. arranged our Newsletter, got it printed, we labeled it at the
last meeting and Bob J. is bringing it to the bulk mail facility ( not
an easy task ).
- We have a painting of G. Marconi and David Sarnoff for our hotel
thanks to a gift by the Sarnoff corporation arranged by John T.
- Norm and Ryan L. set up PC (supplied by Dan J.) with a series of
videos on Camp Evans history overviews. This is our second
Info-Station. Ryan is looking into putting the videos on U-tube.
- Henry's rain and snow deflector is working well. Plus, when the sump
pump failed we did not have a flood as most of the rain does not go down
the cellar ramp.
- We sold the 1,000 gal fuel oil tank removed when the 9059 oil heat
unit failed from old age. Combustion fumes were entering the duct work
so the unit was disabled.
- Dan J. and his computer de-construction lab was featured in a great
Coast Star article by Jamie B.
- John T. and Steve G. made a repair to the sink waste water link in
9002. To route the replacement line 6" (yes, six inches) of concrete
was the challenge. This has us re-thinking plans for the Hotel dining
room AC
- The scans of the Buckminster Fuller DDU plans on file at Stanford
University Archives arrived. They are the plans for our DDUs. Thank
you to Paul Moore for visiting Stanford and arranging the scans. This
is great information to enable us to make preservation repairs.

I hope to see you are the next few meeting to help plan this exciting
year of progress. The bad BRAC is gone, it is now up to us to make
historic Camp Evans a place of public benefit service that is honoring
to those who served there.

***Bob Judge's description*** Please pass on to others by pasting into
your own mail group.

It's that time of year to look for all the smiling faces on the
children as they await a visit from Santa. What better way to start
the holiday season than to see the Holiday Train display at InfoAge
Science/History Center (Camp Evans).

Again the Garden State Central Model Railroad Club of
Asbury Park will set up lots of Operating Model Railroad displays at
Infoage. Many different layouts in all gauges including the N gauge
layout of the Pine Creek Railroad at Allaire State Park built by club
member, Steve Lang of Wall. Another club member,

Bob Ortley, of Wall, will have his layouts on display,
featuring an HO layout that goes from summer to winter.
The biggest attraction will be the large G gauge Garden style layout
with lots of member trains running at once. Some of the members
will try to run their live steam locomotives on the G gauge layout.

As an added bonus, Mike Golub, Neptune will have his unbelievable
lighted Christmas Village on display in the dining room of the famous
Marconi Hotel at Infoage.

Bring the whole family, enjoy all the operating model trains, from N
gauge to G gauge, InfoAge Science/History Center (Camp Evans), 2201 Marconi

-----------------------------
A few items of progress to note:
The snow storm hit us on the weekend of two of our fund raisers.
The pickup truck with our new snowplow broke an axial. (It is not
Steve's fault)
Thanks to John T., Steve G. Pete R., Scott W., and Nels we have the snow
cleared.
To get the job done Nels rigged a plow to our forklift, Steve G. got
more propane and Nels went to it.
John T. was Mr. show thrower. If any of you have operated a thrower you
know the work.

Thanks to Bernie R., Bernie, Nike G. and I got to meet with State
Senator Sean Kean.
Senator Kean will sponsor a bill to name Camp Evans the State of New
Jersey's WWII Living Memorial.
Given 2010 is the 65th anniversary of the end of WWII this is very
fitting to honor those who served at Camp Evans.
On or about January 13th a representative of the NPS National Landmarks
group will visit Camp Evans to further determine if Camp Evans meets
their criteria.

Also, do not forget the TIROS 50th anniversary is April 1st.
One of our first projects is to increase our membership.
Please bring ideas for a membership drive.

**Things that went on this week** - please send me reminders of
accomplishments. So much stuff is going on I can not keep up. email
me!!! It is important to report our progress.

-Thanks to Jamie B. there is an excellent article in the Coast Star on
the Fire Truck transfer.
-Brandon made excellent progress on his eagle project. He and friends
spread nearly all the chips supplied by Dan's Tree Service.
-Thanks to the Haunted Hotel, a gift from the Somerville American
Legion, Manasquan VFW and our fund raising the roof repairs and new roof
for 9010C, 9010D and the central corridor to 9036D are done. Well
except for the gutter repairs. The contractor worked Saturday and
Sunday to beat the bad weather. The new roofs are being tested with
this storm right now. This will enable us to begin the interior repairs.
-The flashing repairs to the rear center hotel roof were done yesterday.
-Remember we have a tour on Wednesday the 16th by a bus from the Neptune
senior center. Some promise photos of Camp Evans from relatives.
-John T. has found the cottage sink drain line has rotten with age. He
is making repairs under Steve's supervision.
-The GSC is nearly done setting up the train layouts for the Holiday
Trains. I saw Jim J. and company lots of evenings.
-Our 3000 USA Non-Profit stamps have arrived.
-Steve G., Joe G. and John T. have done a more extensive exploration of
the buildings to be demolished. Doors and other items are being salvaged.
-Mike G. have exceeded every year so far with his holiday display and
Very Marconi Christmas. The display will enhance all the holiday events
and delight many a child.
-We have made more progress on the 9032 restrooms. The new toilets are
in the men's rooms and the urinals are hung. Next are the new ladies
room toilets. We have some painting touch ups and the hot water heater
will be wired by our electrician. Then we can have a ceremony to start
flushing.
-I still just need put those two repaired windows in the hotel back into
their frames. One got moved next to the window.
-The new group is interested in joining InfoAge to help establish their
museum on waves. They presented a proposal at our last meeting.
-We removed the dirt pile near 9059 to enable us to replace the 9059
side entrance concrete walk deeper.
-We also removed the dirt piles from when we improved the drainage on
the side on 9032A
-The day spent at the Fort Monmouth Archive getting more information on
the WW2 activities at Evans has resulted in lots of good material for
the NPS National Landmark Application. We now know the photograph of
the ceremony around special antenna shelter 9020 with Col DeWitt at the
microphone was a ceremony to present Capt. Vollium the Legion of Merit
award.
-We have been given a large portrait of G. Marconi and David Sarnoff.
-Ray Chase was quoted and InfoAge was mentioned in a Pearl Harbor Day
article in the Asbury Park Press
-Steve G. has met with an environmentalist to determine how to
reintroduce native species back to the bank of the Shark River near the
Marconi Operations building.
-We sorted and cleared the interiors of 9010D to enable us to begin the
interior work.
-We winterized the 9010 restrooms. It was a lot of unpleasant work
cleaning the caked excrement left during the BRAC times when contractors
used the waterless toilets.

At our last Wednesday meeting Jack Patterson was a new attendee. We
also had Scott, Evan, Al, Kyle, Joe G., Steve G., Dan L., Dave Sn., John
C,. Ray C., and Michele R.

partitions now have the dark army green. A stall door has been enlarged
for wheel chair access. It has the original look just larger. Next are

walk deeper.

Landmark application this spring rather than the fall. We will be

good part of the day at the Fort Monmouth Archive getting more
information on the WW2 activities at Evans.

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday, November 18

2009-11-18T15:38:00.000-05:00

Hello Everyone,

Wednesday meeting this week (today). We will label and stamp the
American Legion and VFW follow-up postcards. Lots of projects to review...

Just a note about the value of our volunteering.
InfoAge has returned 40,600 square feet of space at Camp Evans to public
benefit service. This is in keeping with our NPS approved plan. All
work meets the secretary of interior standards for the treatment of
historic properties.
Much of this space was unsafe to enter without a haz-mat suit and
personal protective gear when turned over to us.
At $80/square foot as a renovation cost, the value of our work is
*$3,056,000*. This does not include the value of the lead based paint
and mold remediation we performed on nearly all the buildings.
Nor does include the value of work on buildings we have only re-roofed,
repainted and made other repairs.
This is an impressive figure. In addition to this preservation work we
have created an archive, a library, a massive website, saved
collections, set up a radio repair shop, a graphics workshop, fifteen
rooms of exhibits, we maintain the grounds, we publish a newsletter, we
hold commemorative events and we hold regular technical seminars and
educational events. These items also have value above our $3 million
dollar figure.
All this for less than $700,000. How can one explain the difference?
The difference is you.
As we step up to the challenges of growth it is good to take stock of
the value we have brought to our community.
Thank you, your results are impressive..

**Future Events**

Saturday, November 21st from 2pm to 4pm Family Volunteer Day (Blossom
event)

The event is almost here! We have just over 100 that we expect to

-Two new scouts have requested to do their eagle project at Camp Evans
this weekend.
-Scout David Bogner made good progress on his eagle project. Mark
Casner of C&H plumbing helped by moving the old water lines to under the

Army light green. We re-glazed the windows in which the panes fell
out. Next are new toilets, stall repairs and those salvaged historic
WW2 urinals will go back into sanitary service.
-Also in 9032C we replaced the door in the future AFCEA communications
display room with a salvaged WWII door frame, molding and a door with
the patterned glass. We also removed one of the 1980s solid doors and
replaced it with a salvaged WW2 door. We hope to do this with eleven
doors in 9032 to return the WW2 look.

demolishing them is being well received by the administration.
-We were visited by a member of the Princeton Plasma Physics lab. and a
former RCA employee who are heading up a TIROS 50th anniversary
celebration at Princeton.

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday, November 11

2009-11-11T07:53:00.000-05:00

Meeting tonight 6:45PM

By the way.

Today is Veterans Day and Camp Evans played a supporting roll by
receiving the terms of the Armistice by wireless from Europe for relay
to President Wilson. The operator on duty was Frederick Schnell. An
article published after the war in THE WIRELESS AGE stated that the use
of the High-Powered Marconi Wireless Stations (Belmar-New
Brunswick-Carnarvon) helped to shorten WWI and save thousands of lives
on both sides.

Thank you,

**Things that went on this week** - please send me reminders of

The Haunted Hotel was a triumph. Many a happy visitor exclaimed "It
was even better than last year". Under Fright Master Nels and Fright
Mistress Judy’s leadership, this year’s event met the goal of raising
enough funds to put a new roof on 9010C. The gross is $33,447.
This historic 1942 structure deserves a new roof for not only its
service during WW2 but it is the space engineers designed components for
the SCORE and TIROS satellites during the early days of the space race.

The creativity, the time and the effort invested in the frightful walk
through 9010D to 9010A and the Hay Ride was simply amazing.

**Future Events**

**Things that went on this week** - please send me reminders of

The opening night of the Haunted Hotel was a triumph. Under Fright
Master Nels and Fright Mistress Judy’s leadership, this year’s event is
the best yet. We have an excellent start on meeting the goal of raising
enough funds to replace the roof of 9010C. Leaking roofs are bad. This
historic 1942 structure deserves a new roof for not only its service
during WW2 but it is the space engineers designed components for the
SCORE and TIROS satellites during the early days of the space race. The
creativity, the time and the effort invested in the frightful walk
through 9010D to 9010A and the Hay Ride is simply amazing.

Thanks go to many persons and groups:

Bernie and Dot R., for Casper’s house;
The Wall ROTC for helping in the parking lot and sorting the visitors
into the ‘Decontamination Stations’;
Allen Shields and the Shore players for their visions of contemporary hell;
Dan & Terry L. and Neil N. of the NJHDA for the spiders den;
Dan J. Scott W. and Jeff H. for the nuclear reactor gone critical;
Jeff H. for the Alien Space Craft crash site;
Laura Parker and the Wall Drama Society for Macbeth’s castle of horror;
Judy W. and many others for ‘Warehouse 13’;
Ray C., Steve G., Harry K., Al K., and the NJARC gang for the Mad
Science Lab;
Brett H. and friends for the Insane Asylum;
Michele R., and Blossom Int. for the Evil Clown Room;
Evan K., for entertaining the visitors in line for the Hay Ride;
Neptune H.S. Drama students for haunting the cemetery, Van of Evil,
Disaster Area and the Fire House with the Last Aide hearse;
In the ticket booth we had Nels’ sister and brother-in-law who provided
a hand made bird house to for visitors to win in a free drawing;
Bob J. of the GSC greeted the visitors in the gate house;
OMARC provided refreshments outside of 9059;
Blossom Int. has a jewelry tent;
Nels provided the wagons and he was the main wagon driver.
So many persons have helped and are helping.

We made progress in other areas during the past two weeks:

An update from Ray Chase:

Ray C's Report:
Present were Al K., Dave Snellman and myself. Per a request from Steve
G. we explored about a dozen buildings outside our perimeter to search
out possible toilet appliances that could be salvaged. We identified
several buildings with usable fixtures including sinks, mirrors, metal
stall partitions, etc. As a bonus we found 3 three good office tables
and several side chairs in dirty but good condition. These were
rescued, cleaned up and the tables will be used in our Mad Science
Halloween Lab. Suggest that the identified appliances be salvaged for
future needs.
The rest of the day was spent relocating equipment from the RTM museum
and storage space to the Halloween display area in the H building.
Thank you Ray.
- Over the weekend we liberated four urinals, six sinks and various
hardware from the buildings that will be demolished. The fixtures are
for the 9032BC restrooms.

Initially Al, Harry, Steve G., myself and Mike Golub met at 9 AM at
Bernie Martin’s storage module in Ocean to clean it out completely.
Steve G. and Mike had to go back for a second trip to finish it off.
Most of the stuff is photographic in nature and is now in a pile in the
A section of 9032. Steve G. is to do a quick sort and then get rid of
it on e-Bay.

Al and Dave continued on the task of cleaning out the “office” area in
the rear of the museum and reducing the clutter and better organizing
things.

Harry and Ray took down all the NBHF pictures and prepared them for a
trip to the framer who is in Gillete, NJ. Ray will deliver them and
coordinate with the framer.

Misc. repair and clean-up work was done.

The group toured the H building to survey the location of our Halloween
display.

An update fom Michele of Blossom Int....

A special thank you to Steve who has helped us out so many times in the past
two weeks that I've lost count. I haven't learned everyone's names yet but
many others have helped us too and it is always appreciated. The shelf that
was put together and placed in Blossom's inventory space was truly a gift,
thank you!

What We've Done at InfoAge so far:

Fashion Shop (scheduled for this upcoming Tuesday & Friday morning too) was
organized and run by Erica Rabinovitz who will be a junior this fall at
Manasquan High School and provided teens in foster care with free,
fashionable clothing and accessories.

Summer BackPack initiative assembled 70 backpacks filled with brand new
school supplies for children of all ages who will be attending school and
are currently in foster care and without the means to purchase supplies and
backpacks.

Blossom Shop had a meeting and is an initiative where youth create and sell
recycled and upcycled products to raise funds for philanthropy and community
service projects they want to take on. They are currently making Halloween
products for the upcoming Haunted Hotel & Hayride event. They have decided
that 50% of all proceeds from their sales at this event will be donated to
InfoAge and its subsidiaries. You can view some of their products at:
http://www.blossominternational.org/index/blossomshop

Upcoming Large Events for Blossom at InfoAge:

Make a Difference Day
Saturday, October 24th from 12pm to 3pm. On this day we expect to see about
300 youth and their families. They will plant trees on the InfoAge campus
as well as participate in various volunteer activities that have to do with
helping the environment. So far we will also have Project Porchlight
www.projectporchlight.com on campus to distribute free energy saving
lightbulbs. We will also be running a contest for kids (that begins next
week) to design the printed image that will appear on 250 grocery totes
which will be available at the event. Winners will get a tote bag with

Family Volunteer Day
Saturday, November 21st from 2pm to 4pm. At this event we feature all of

their families. Each program will do the following: Care Pack will create
100 Care Packs, Juggling Life will provide instruction and workshops,
Children for Charity will provide various small projects for youth to
participate in and Cultural Education 4 Kids will provide a reading of
Sitti's Secrets as well as help volunteers write a letter to President

******
****We have 50 tickets - First come -first serve. Enjoy a fun evening
and help us market InfoAge.
******

***What I know of and can recall this past week***

We have discovered leaks in the 9010A roof. This is bad. It is the
last intact h-building section. The BRAC staff used it as an office so
they did not allow it to get fungus infested and kept the heat on so
they pipes did not burst. Two areas of sheet rock ceiling have fallen.
The H-section roof replacements are expensive - lots of area.

Evan Thompson has a high-end digital that can take RAW or TIFF images of
2000 x 3000 pixels. Sunday he began re-shooting photos.

BLOSSOM has begun moving into a Hotel office. Thank you Steve G. for
helping and suppling a key.

Something you will hardly notice - because it was done so well. John
B. has done a massive restructure of our website www.infoage.org. This
is an impressive feat that required script writing and testing. We have
1,500 web pages 8,500 files, documents and photos. We began our site in
1998. John removed lots of bloat code from the many html editors and
'new' web technologies over the years. Now our site is more
maintainable and we can take up the offer of help from others to add
content to our site.

Lisa of Greater Media contacted us and they have some ideas to help
us. She arranged a 30 minute interview on WJRZ with Mike Moran on his
Sunday Morning Show - 'Down the Shore'. It was fun.
Nels and Pete fixed our Torro mower for the price of the parts. It had
a clutch seize. Super Pete read the manual, removed the clutch and was
off to W.H.Potter and Sons to order the parts. Nels was in the middle
of this too. Thank you both. This saves us a ton. No towing costs to
the dealer...etc. You guys are great.

Architect Paul Moore will be visiting Stanford University soon. If we
can arrange access he will visit Green Library - Special Collections for
copies of the DDU plans they have on file. We hope they will allow
digital photography. This is excellent. Who better than Paul the check
out the plans. If they match our DDUs he will know.
We have two boy scouts working on plans to use the DDU for Boy Scout
camp outs.

We also began painting 9097, the foundry. Garden State Iron, a Butler
Buildings has estimated the roof repair will be $18,000. New plan
time. I am considering using the corrugated panels I saved when the
town made me remove by farm equipment shed.

Aggressive Mechanical is nearly done installing the new heat and A/C in
9059. The pressure test meter inspector was passed. Harry K. will
install the salvaged WW2 double doors in 9059 to enable us to move demo
equipment easily into the building for classes. Harry modified the wall
in the NBHF and it looks great.

We have fresh dumpster to fill. The BRAC well testers placed lots of
recyclables in the bin. I removed them. As you know we handle
recyclables and metals separately. We have a growing pile of metals to
recycle. A pickup truck of cardboard is recycled.

Bob P. got the first price for materials to redo the Diana site
electric. We are checking another supplier. This is based upon Rich B.
plan. We will file the permits soon.

Mark Casner has given me the papers to file the permits to repair the
restrooms in 9032B/C using Rich Grasso's plans. It is sad that Rich has
passed away. Once the restrooms are done we should have a thank you
ceremony.

Soon we have a follow up meeting for our 'Junk Bos wars". Mike G. made
the connection.

On Friday evening members of the Garden State Central met in the hotel
and the NJMT too. Thanks for policing the men's room. GSC gave us the
first donation from the soda machine proceeds.

MARCH is getting ready for the next Vintage Computer Festival. Evan K,
Joe G. and company working like crazy - they will have four rooms open.
They have lots of new history posters and more exhibits.

Amanda W. made more progress the George Goubeaud papers. Nick S. was at
work Sunday sorting our dozens of Camp Evans historic drawings.

Nick R. continues the painting of the Monmouth Bl fence.

We have another proposal back for A/C for the hotel dining room. John
Cervini is leading this project.

The scratch coast on 9006 is still done. I have found the file to get
to work on the paperwork to apply for the balance of the grant.

We have to repair the fence. The Wall Little League parents are cutting
our fence to retrieve lost balls. We have spoken to the head of the
League. What an annoyance.

Thanks to Steve M. we had a delivery of communications equipment from
Tobyhanna Army Depot. I know Al K. found stuff he liked. We still need
to inventory the delivery.

Nels mowed the whole place. He also got the 'Camp Evans' Hill looking
good. Nels works many hours keeping the site looking good. If you
like to mow - please offer him a hand.

We began painting the laser and radar experiment shed on the 4 story
tall 9178 platform. It is looking better. We repainted 9098 as well as
the sentry post 9155 near the Brookdale gate 3 entrance.
Scout Matt Sampson will relocate the to gate 2 near where there was one
during WW2.

Scout Tim T. found even more cold-war era fallout shelter supplies for
the 'Fallout Shelter' theater in Evans Shelter #1.

There was water in the hotel basement due to a clogged rain water
drain. I mopped up all I could and cleaned the drain. One of the NJNG
projects to to improve drainage behind the hotel.

Neil N. secured a bunch of Tyvek suits for the NJNG volunteers to
further the fence painting without getting the nasty aluminum coating on
their clothes.

Duting Sunday's rain storm we painted the last office in 9032A. We
vacuumed the downstairs and washed the restrooms.

This Sunday we had a reduced number of visitors. They were cheap - $5
in the jar. On hand were: Steve G., Hary K. in the Hall of Fame, Neil
N., Evan K. Joe G., Dan & Terry L., Dan J., Don J. & nephew, JoAnne
B., Nels W., Nick S., Nick T. and others.

- 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. He
was there this morning

*Status:*

We are in Emergency Stabilization mode now. We are attacking worse

market InfoAge.

***What I know of and can recall this past week***

First a request. Does anyone have a high-end digital that can take RAW
or TIFF images of 2000 by 3000 pixels? The NPS has requested we
resubmit our current site photos for the expanded historic district. I
submitted JPGs. I just need to take about 25 photos. I would rather
not purchase a new camera for $500 +++. Call me if you can help.

Good News the not-for-profit BLOSSOM is joining InfoAge for a six month
trial. This new group has much to offer the community. Working at
InfoAge will be good for all our groups.

The NJARC swap meet on Saturday was a great success. Pasting in an
email from Club President Richard Lee....

Greetings Fellow Enthusiasts, What a great Swap Meet we had this past Saturday at InfoAge! Those of you who have participated over the years, can see how the show continues to grow, we even had the tube vendor Lawrence from Ohio, join us. I want to thank all those who helped make our Annual Summer Tailgate such a success, and especially, Trustee Ray and Edith Chase, Marsha Simkin, VP Harry Klancer, Treasuer, Sal Brisindi, Editor, Marv Beeferman, and Senore' Marconi, who has always kept the rain away from our Tailgate Swap Meets! See you all at our August 14th meeting, Bowen Hall, Princeton. Richard Lee President, NJARC

Thank you to Nels, Pete with some help from Kyle for bring out the MTMNJ historic Army vehicles.
While this was going on the Geo-cashers visited InfoAge. Steve G. was their host and kindly gave the group a tour.

On Sunday Rob F. and son, Bob S. and others had a military field radio encampment to show visitors how radio got the message through. Thanks to Nels for the use of the camo nets.

BTW, John B. has been posting photos of events on flicker - you can get there via our website www.infoage.org under events / photos. This is excellent. More photos are posted faster than the Fossil Fred method...

Lisa of Greater Media contacted us and they have some ideas to help us.

Our Torro mower had a clutch seize. Not good. Super Pete read the
manual, removed the clutch and was off to W.H.Potter and Sons to order
the parts. Nels was in the middle of this too. Thank you both. This
saves us a ton. No towing costs to the dealer...etc. You guys are great.

Steve G., Dave Sn. and Dan J. investigated the crushed DDU in the woods.
We hope to salvage more sample parts.
We have a request filed with the Stanford University Green Library -
Special Collections for copies of the DDU plans they have on file.
First request has been rejected as the plans are too fragile to into a
copy machine. We have suggested digital photography...

We have finished repainting all the DDUs on our area this weekend.
Thank you to Kyle for cleaning the trash out of them in spite of killer
bees. We also began painting 9097, the foundry. We have asked Garden
State Iron, a Butler Buildings dealer to see if the metal foundry roof
can be repaired or needs complete replacement.

We also started cleaning the clogged gutters on the H-buildings. This
weekend we cleaned 660' on 9010, 460' on 9011, 400' on the hallway
exterior and 200' on 9037.

Aggressive Mechanical is nearly done installing the new heat and A/C in
9059. The pressure test meter is on the gas piping and we hope to have
an inspection tomorrow. If anyone is into carpentry we can now install
the salvaged WW2 double doors in 9059 to enable us to move demo
equipment easily into the building for classes.

We have another dumpster filled with debris. Wall DPW will empty and
return it this week. We have a growing pile of metals to recycle. We
brought the bottles and cans to the recycling center this week.
Cardboard is next. Thank you to Steve G. for removing all the Swat Meet
trash.

In 9032B Bob P. fixed a shocking electric problem with an attic
illuminated light switch. He also hung the replacement florescent
fixtures in 9032C men's room and a room MARCH will use for vintage
computer displays.

Thanks to Mike G. for making the connection and the Neptune H.S.
Principle Mr. Allen we will host a "Junk Box Wars" style this fall.
Steve G. and I attended a planning meeting during the week.

On Friday evening members of the Garden State Central met in the hotel
and the NJMT too. Thanks for policing the men's room. GSC gave us the
first donation from the soda machine proceeds.

MARCH is getting ready for the next Vintage Computer Festival. Evan K,
Joe G. and company are really making progress. They have lots of new
history posters and more exhibits.

Amanda W. made more progress the George Goubeaud papers. Nick S. is
sorting our dozens of Camp Evans historic drawings.

Nick R. continues the painting of the Monmouth Bl fence.

We have another proposal back for A/C for the hotel dining room. John
Cervini is leading this project.

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 have to repair the fence. The Wall Little League parents are cutting
our fence to retrieve lost balls. We have spoken to the head of the
League. What an annoyance.

Dan L. removed the last of the nails from the salvages shiplap siding
for 9017 and other needed repairs. If you ave back carpenter skills and
what to help repair the siding issues on the WW2 era wood buildings let
me know.

Plumber Mark Casner has the 9032 rest room plans Rich Grasso prepared
for us. Mark has spoken to our building inspector to get the permits
filed so we can get the restrooms in use. It is a sad thing that Rich
suddenly passed away.

Thanks to Steve M. we had a delivery of communications equipment from
Tobyhanna Army Depot. I know Al K. found stuff he liked. We need to
inventory the delivery.

This Sunday we had a good number of visitors. They were very interested
and stayed long. On hand were: Steve G., Dave Sn. in the Hall of Fame,
Neil N., Joe G., Bernie R., Bob B. Dan & Terry L., Dan J., Don J. &
nephew, Cicily F., Nels W., Pete R., Nick S., Amanda W., Norm L.and

underway.

- 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. He
was there this morning

*Status:*

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 have two boy scouts working on plans to use the DDU for Boy Scout
camp outs - they are big metal tents designed by Buckminster Fuller.

Status:

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.

During the week... and weekend... (in no particular order)

“The History & Development of Electronic Warfare” - A Technical Tutorial by Mr. John Cervini, in Bldg. 9059 was well attended and great. John has such an in depth knowledge of this subject.

Nels W., Pete R. and Bob W. mowed and weed-whacked everything. Bob W. mowed the Diana / TIROS site. The site looks great for the car show.

Mike G. cleaned the entire parking lot with a back-pack leaf blower.

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.

Dan L. installed four pulleys to enable us to hoist banners and flag for special events.

We have are over half way done with the prime coat 9034 which measure 60' by 100'.

Dan J. has the Computer eduction center ready for business on Sundays. Dan - help us with an announcement for the press.

Dan J. is also running a morning Landscaping & exercise class has improved the look of 9010D and has stacked the salvaged fence pipes for easy relocation. Nels relocated the pipes for future re-use.

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.

We were contacted by a film maker whose grandfather, Dr. Eduard Gerber, was a member of Operation PaperClip. On July 12th she will be visiting to do interviews..

Dan L. Breeze radio ad is on the air - it sounds great - we had results this weekend and we expect more.

This Sunday we had a a great force of volunteers on hand: On hand were: Steve G., JoAnne B., Cecily F., Neil N., Dan L., Dan J. Don, Harry K., Phil V., Evan K., Joe G., Arron and others.

On Monday evening Phil V. and others hosted a boy scout troop visit.

On Monday the Board of Trustees met. The next meeting is July 20th at 4PM

John B. keeps improving the structure of our website. Our site is massive with lots of content. A number of published works by professional historians have cited out site as a reference. 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.

Many persons are working to help save Camp Evans and give it a future in education and as a place to honor those who served. Thank you to all.

Reasons to tell persons why to donate (via check or PayPal) to our
effort NOW:

Saves an incredibly historic site
Honors WWII Signal Corps and Honor Front veterans
Helps education by inspiring kids to learn science
Furthers the development of a NJ Shore tourist destination.
Will create full and part-time employment
Improves property values in the North Wall and Shark River area.
We are the White House recognized stewards of the Camp Evans Historic District and now it is under our protection for future generations

Please email the items I forget. Do not get angry...email me!!! It is important to report our progress.

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.

Ray Chase and Steve Goulart are representing InfoAge in Washington DC
tomorrow. The reception will be held on the evening of Wednesday, May 13th in Washington, D.C.

President Barack Obama signed the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 on March 30, which included authorization for Preserve America and Save America's Treasures grants.
In addition to the grants, the law codifies the designation of Preserve America Communities as one of the entities eligible to apply for grants.

The details of the grant are at:
http://www.achp.gov/docs/Omnibus_Bill_090330.pdf Please review it. We need to put together a group to explore the possibilities with this $50 Million dollars. Wall is NJ's first Preserve America Community and InfoAge is amount the first eleven Preserve America Stewards. Camp Evans is an official Save America's Treasures Project.
***Steve Goulart has pointed out every state has received grants under these programs except NJ.
***We submitted two grants, but I made the mistake of proposing work in anticipation of the transfer.
***As of March 24th at 4PM with the completion of the transfer we are positioned to go for the money we need to preserve this site for the benefit of the future.

Again, please review the link to help us prepare a winning grant.

Thank you,
Fred
