[Troop139] Article on CERT & Amateur Radio Support for the Red Cross Shelter at Bergen Community College

[J.Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Hi Folks!

Thanks for the nice feedback on the article!  

James appreciates the feedback!

 

One error on my part.in the cover email I mentioned that John is an Eagle
Scout.  John noted that I was incorrect, but he was a Scout in Waldwick, NJ
where his parents still reside.  I've edited the text below to reflect his
correction.

 

Thanks & 73,

Gordon Beattie, W2TTT

Hi Folks!

 

Our recent efforts at the shelter were highlighted in an article that James

Please share this with your friends.

 

BTW: The reference to John Courtney, N5CAT was particularly nice and shows
how the ethic of service has no bounds.

John was a from Waldwick where his parents still reside, an Electrical
Engineer, a  former Marine officer with several tours in both Gulf Wars and
Afghanistan, an Extra Amateur Radio Operator, a pilot, a former Voyager
(Ranger/Guide) at Floodwood Mountain Scout Reservation, and is currently a
Director of Field Operations for United States Technical Services.  He was a
pleasure to work with and I am hoping to see him again next summer at
Floodwood.

 

I have been moving generators around since Sunday afternoon to folks who
needed to sump out their basements and work has been busy as well!  I will
have my report done this weekend and will share it with you.

 

Thanks & 73,

Gordon Beattie, W2TTT
