[OKDXA] W5 Incoming Bureau

Fri Aug 27 10:06:53 EDT 2010

I just live a few blocks from Jerry's son Mark, K5YAC, in Owasso.  That
puts me pretty close to Jerry's house too.  If I can help by toting
stuff around, just let me know.

Thanks,
Charlie Calhoun

I'm trying to reach Jerry's wife Carol right now to make arrangements to
get all the cards she has at their house right now.  After that we can
see what needs to be done.

"Hiring" a new Bureau Manager is clearly needed (salary and benefits

will be in line with what other bureau managers get!).

In the meantime, however, there is a backlog waiting to go out to the

sorters.  Is there any interest in having a one-time cleanup event

where we could all make our way to Claremore and work through the

backlog?

That way the new hire can start fresh or close to it.
