All,

My friend and co-worker sent me a copy of the "Nannygoats" newsletter
published by the Metuchen-Edison Historical Society.  In this issue (Summer
2011), there is a great multi-page article written by George Muha (N2XM)
that presents a brief history recounting of activities of the Metuchen YMCA
Radio Club - K2YNT.  The story features many pictures and mentions of many
of the club members - including Dr. George Hyde, Charles Smith, Allen
Hughes, and George Russell (W2SJU).  There are others too.  I'm a bit too
young to remember these guys and the others mentioned, but I thought that
many of the club members may remember these guys, the club, and maybe even
recognize some of the un-mentioned people in the photos.

I have the paper copy that Scott sent to me, but was also able to locate an
electronic copy on the Historical Society's website.  Here is a link to the
newsletter.

The story of the radio club starts on page 1, and then continues on pages
4-8.

Enjoy, and please pass this along to any non-members of the RVRC mailing
list that might enjoy reading this.
