Steve Mansfield's wife Ellen has asked me to pass along the news that Steve is entering a clinical trial program at Dana Farber in Boston as an outpatient. That is, he will be taking the prescribed medication at home. Ellen expects that while Steve is in the program, the effects of the medication will preclude him from working. She asks that anyone who might want to visit him call her first. Ellen and Steve both know that the entire ARRL family is pulling for him, and they are deeply appreciative of your support.

Hi All! Hope everyone had a great weekend. I didn't get Tuck's initial message about his health situation. Tuck told me it went out last Wednesday or so. Make me wonder if I didn't get some other messages. Anybody else missing messages? Thanks. 73, Rick - K5UR

Thanks!!

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers! It was a bit of a scare for me to have chest pains last Monday and Tuesday, but after a thorough check up at the Doctors, which included a treadmill test, and nuclear image scanning, it has been concluded that I did not have a heart attack, nor do I have heart problems at this time. We are led to believe the problem occurred because of over extending myself on my walking exercises. As most of you know, I have been trying to lose weight, and also trying to exercise a bit more, and I actually walked double what I have been last Sunday. Well, I think it zapped me. I have to remember to expand a bit more slowly. Sorry, if you are getting more than one copy of this message. I am replying to each of the many e-mail notes I have received, plus sending it out to many others as well. Once again, thanks again, it is great knowing I have friends such as yourself, 73, -- ************************************************ Remember, Helping Others....Always Worthwhile!!

Just watched a nice 10 minute story on home owner association abuse on ABC's 20-20 tonight. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/2020/DailyNews/2020_homeowners_02419.html Sure sounds like we should be able to find some kindred folks out there to support our CC&R legislation! Amazed that the story reported 50 million people in the USA (nearly 20%) live under HOA rules... More than I realized. -- Tom ===== e-mail: k1ki(a)arrl.org ARRL New England Division Director http://www.arrl.org/ Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444

Walt, they discussed a number of different dues structures and settled on dues of $500 per organization regardless of size. Dennis's sense of the group is that the key players consider this seed money, and they will be looking to group members for resources as projects are identified and agreed upon. 73, Mark K1RO > -----Original Message----- > From: Walton Stinson, W0CP [mailto:wstinson@listenup.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 5:16 PM > To: arrl-odv(a)listserv.arrl.org > Subject: [ARRL-ODV:7122] Re: Industry Association > > > I have been involved in trade groups in the consumer > electronics industry. > These organizations are an essential part of any healthy > industry.

Jim, it is shocking that you are on a panel discussion at IWCE since you aren't a member of the law firm of Schwaninger & Associates. They run the regulatory track there now, instead of my friend Jerry Whitaker, of Intertec Publishing. Since Jerry stopped organizing the seminars, they have been All Schwaninger, All The Time. I am sure you and Riley will provide some needed balance to an otherwise lopsided group of programs. 73, Chris W3KD
