[BARC-List] "Run of the Charles", newspaper article

[Arthur N1NHZ]

Cambridge Tab, May 10, page 12, entitled,
"1,600 paddlers enter Run of the Charles"
The article is 27 column inches long, I'll just present a brief quote 
excerpted from the article:

      "We are also grateful to the American Red Cross of Eastern 
Massachusetts for their medical support," Zimmerman (Executive Director, 
Charles River Watershed Association, sponsor) added, "and the Amateur (sic) 
Radio Relay League for providing the ham radio operators who send 
information from ten sites along the river to race officials and emergency 
staff at the finish line."

        Very nice. This is one of the few times that I have seen a public 
service event sponsor acknowledge in the public news media that ham radio 
operators were serving and described the functions that they performed.
