> on John Chapman, WB8INY, that he knew ARES emergency communications would 
> be in his life for good. And he will put that dedication in his new task 
> - Ohio Section Emergency Coordinator.
>           Ohio ARRL Section Manager, Joe Phillips, K8QOE, has appointed 
> John to be Ohio SEC to succeed Larry Rain, WD8IHP (SK) who became a 
> silent key September 9, 2003. "This was the most difficult decision I've 
> had in five years as SM because three outstanding DECs had applied." Said 
> Phillips, "John Chapman is committed to continuing the great direction of 
> Ohio ARES program which Larry Rain began."
>           John, a Worthington native, was graduated from Ohio State in 
> 1978 with a degree in Computer and Information Sciences. He began his 
> lifelong fascination with amateur radio while operating in the radio 
> shack of W8LT (the OSU ham radio station). He holds an extra class 
> license, is a mentor on all three ARRL Emergency Courses and a Red Cross 
> Instructor. He worked his way up the ARES ladder - first as EC of 
> Franklin County and District Emergency Coordinator for District 7. John 
> has served the last seven weeks as Interim SEC.
>           He and His wife, Judi, reside in Gahanna (Franklin County) with 
> son, Austin and enjoys chasing DX (particularly QRP on camping trips), 
> and SCUBA diving. But the 1974 tornado, where he was assigned in 
> emergency communications had a permanent impact on him. "I couldn't 
> believe the destruction once I saw Xenia - the full impact of that damage 
> I'll never forget."
