[NJARC] NBHF Museum & Induction Ceremony

[Ray Chase]

As most of you know NJARC is custodian of the National Broadcasters Hall of Fame artifacts and the history of inducting notable radio entertainers into the Broadcasters Hall of Fame.  It has been 10 years since an induction has taken place and with the progress made at InfoAge that is about to change.  On Saturday afternoon on September 16th from 1 to 3 PM an Induction Ceremony will take place at InfoAge honoring three notables namely: Les Paul, Charles Osgood of CBS and Arthur Anderson a noted disc jockey.  It would be a decided advantage to show our preliminary radio museum in the building behind the Marconi hotel at that time.  This is not to take away from our efforts in cottage #2 but we are just about ready to start the move to larger quarters.  Quite a bit of work has already been done in that end of the building and primarily the task is to get carpets on the floor, move out extraneous items, start emplacing the great display cabinets that we just acquired and move radio artifacts into place.  Therefore this Saturday, the 12th will be a work day in that building to move material around in order to allow carpeting to be completed.  InfoAge has agreed to put all new carpet in the museum area and once that is done we can start to assemble a larger museum.  The intent is to show a museum effort as a work in progress on the 16th of September.  Please try to give us of your time on this Saturday and any other days that you can spare a few hours.  Arrangements can be made for most any volunteer time.  This induction ceremony will really put NJARC and InfoAge on the map; it's an exciting time for us.  Contact me for any questions and particulars.
