>ARRL in accordance to the standard practice when a Director resigns. Mr. 
>Johnston has named Dick Mondro, W8FQT, of Dearborn Heights Michigan and 
>current Michigan Section Manager, as Vice Director.

>Ohio Section Manager, Joe Phillips, K8QOE, said, "George Race has been a 
>tireless worker in this Division. He has worn out two automobiles 
>representing us. George was the most traveled Director I knew in 
>representing the ARRL. You could get five hams in a phone booth and George 
>would be there representing the League. His 12 years as Section Manager, 
>Vice Director, and
>Director, deserve high praise. Hard work still counts for something in 
>this world."

>Phillips also said Director Gary Johnson has earned the respect
>of all the leadership in this Division and he'll lead with distinction.
