Everyone, I want to take time out today to thank everyone that participated in this weekend. I considered it a success on Saturday after lunch. I saw that my image for a group of individuals came together, set up, operated, and ate together. Everyone had each other's back.
I know I set some high goals and wanted a lot. You all stepped up and even in the small space we have, met everyone of them and even one more. I was told it was going to be tight, and that was true, any more any we were going to need to start sharing chairs. We already needed to share rooms. But with flexibility and everyone communicating, it all happened. We even had a few people that were not assigned jobs filling in for those that did not get jobs done, including myself. Please, when you see Daphne and food team, please let them know what an AWESOME job they did. It is a lot of work to get everything they did done and they still pulled it off. The team even gave us a couple of sit down and severed meals. When you see Bill and the Antenna team, thank them for being in the heat and getting setup. Bill even stayed there late Fri ,after everyone left, for the the delivery of the manlift was going to be late and waited for them. He then showed up early next morning to get it received. And for those who know what happen, that was my first panic and thought we were going up in flames :) As for Glenn and team, thank them for computers and data collecting. Also Rick Hiller for submitting all that. Jimmy and team for coax, lots of boxes, and some air conditioning. That is not easy and getting all that coordinated took time in and outside. All our teams for helping with tutoring new people and keeping the magic smoke in the boxes in our SSB Room Jeff McMillen for Satellite pints, outside in the dark by himself and every biting pest out there. I personal went out and only made it about 5 min before I was tired of the piranha-mosquitoes eating me alive. Our CW team deserve a round of applause since they now know the secret of working a 36hr shift and not sleeping. Some even worked CW and Phone too. And each of our class teachers, thank you. They put together material that definitely was informative and interesting. They also did it with a very tight schedule and got back to contesting too. And as I said in the beginning, thank each other for an awesome job and teamwork that was put in to the while weekend. As for next year, hopefully I get pick to lead again and can start earlier in planning and get more organized for an even easier weekend. P.S. For the one thing that some of us can take away, remember -"Leave water out for the "kids" so they can take care of themselves (Furry or not)" - Thank Kurt - Neeeoowwww -- Richard Bonica C: 281.935.7222 Email: kg5...@gmail.com Freq: 147.000 - DMR - Digital Mobile Territory: NE Fort Bend CERT, CST, EST, WEB EOC, HSEEP, FEMA PD, Wilderness First Aid, CPR, Extra Armature Radio
