DIVISION ASSISTANT DIRECTORS

First let me welcome H.O. Townsend K5CX as a new
Division Assistant Director.  Since I'm starting a new
three year term as your Director, I thought I would
review the current Assistant Directors and retire those
that no longer wish to participate.  If you are
interested in remaining an Assistant Director, please
drop me a note.  Thanks.

Looking forward to visiting with you at the above
mentioned events.

73, Coy N5OK
