List members:

This was posted this morning on the Collins Collectors Association email
list by Bill Carns, President of the CCA.  Like BIll, I think this is
something that many on the milsurplus email reflector would be
interested in and would lend a vote of support.  The USS Slater museum
ship, the only remaining WW II Destroyer Escort, is in a competition to
receive some grant money.  I know that many of you either volunteer or
otherwise support museum ships like USS Slater and will see the value in
this.  Hopefully you can take a minute and follow the link below and add
vote for their cause.

The link is towards the end of the post, but I include it here:

Thanks and 73,

I will risk being slightly marginal about topic here. But not really. This
ship is part of our national heritage and also the radio room is stuffed
with Collins and deserves to be preserved. All you need to do to show your
support of this preservation effort and grant request is to click the link
below. I urge you to do just that.Then go visit. I want to thank Tom for his
relay here. There was a photo of a great bunch of volunteers working on the
ship, but it will not come through the reflector, and may cause a bounce, so
I am deleting it.

Bill,

I wanted to as your approval before forwarding this to the CCA reflector.
The USS Slater is the only remaining WW-II Destroyer Escort and they are
competing for a grant. They need votes. The Radio Room has restored Collins
gear and other gear. I found some ham band crystals for their TBL TX in a
parts bin. Can you share this with the reflector. voting ends Monday at 5
PM.
Best 73

motion/2053/

It's the final round of the Capital Region Gives contest. We need
everybody's help to share this as far and as wide as you can, and vote for
the USS SLATER. We're up against several other worthy not-for-profits. But
USS SLATER is special because she was saved by veterans, and restored by
veterans, to honor veterans. She stands as a symbol of their courage and the
sacrifices that have protected this country and enabled all of the other
agencies to do their good work.

These guys put in 17,000 Volunteer hours aboard the ship last year. All we
want you to do is click a link.

We need you to vote, and for everybody to share this link. Spread the word
for USS SLATER! Let this be our turn. Let's share this and win this.
