Comments: Had a promising email from a former EC of Burke County, However, 
I have not heard back from him since sending the application that Paul Robinette 
requested.  I will contact him again in the next week or so to make sure he 
received the information.

I will keep you updated, hopefully we will have this position filled in the near
future.

Comments:  Net Report was relayed to me by David Funderburke, who is an AEC and Net Manager.

Union County ARES lost a member April 17, 2011.  Jack Barbera, KF4KNL became a SK.
Search for EC of Union County, full of dead ends.  I have talked with both Bob DeWitt, AEC
and David Funderburke and neither of them are having much luck finding anyone to step up in 
the roll.

Bob lives out of the county for part of the year and David Funderburke\\\'s job would not allow
him to have the roll as he would be called into work in an emergency.

I have talked to several people who seem interested, until I explain the requirements, then 
I never hear back.  Will keep trying and keep you posted.
