Area-12 Meeting

Who was there?

Morganton Hamfest Saturday April 16, 2011

We met at the Shelter, not an indoor but an out door shelter.  Lots of rain and it was cold but as they say
the meeting went on.  A decent turn out, four out of five counties were represented.  A good conversation
and discussion was held.  I was impressed with all the activities going on in Ashe, Mitchell, McDowell Counties.
I was not impressed leaving my cap and rain gear at the house.  My wife was less impressed as her gear was
with my stuff and I was assigned to bring it to the car before leaving the house.


The EC for Caldwell County has resigned.  Mitchelle (KD4YTU) her plate is full teaching at the College,
Mitchelle felt this would be a good time to let go of the reins.  Thanks, Michelle for the many years of
service as the EC of Caldwell County.  I hope that you will continue to set up the ARES State meetings at the
College for us. 

About a week ago Jerry (AD4JG) called and talked with me about his work situation, his increased work load
and the extra duties that are required on his new assignment with the Company.  I sure hated to agree with
Jerry but Family and Work is always a main priority.  I asked Jerry to give his resignation a little more thought,
to let me know after the weekend. Monday Jerry told me that he decided he would resign.  I ask him if he would
consider talking the EC opening in Caldwell County and he agreed.  So thanks Jerry for your three years as the
DEC but as the EC you are still family and we expect to continue to hear from you.

Those attending.

Thanks for being there.
