Hello Everyone,

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

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
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.

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday, May 12.
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

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

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.

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.

all to enjoy. Joe and others helped relocate the Lucent platform to the

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.

Great events - Good Progress - Great press coverage
-----------------------------
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
after lunch I discussed how we could help them with their planned
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.

1941
*NJARC Ray Chase*

mind) *NJHDA Dan Lieb*

Advances

"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

ready to come back. I'm working on listing all donations and getting

exhibit. We will meet again next week to firm up plans, I am the
contact point.
