On Saturday morning we received the attached copy of a letter that had been sent to President Harrison about a week earlier by Armond T. Mascelli, Vice President, Disaster Services, Response, American Red Cross. With the Dayton Hamvention ARES forum imminent, Joel, Kay Craigie and I reviewed the letter and determined that it was sufficiently responsive to our concerns that we should not miss the opportunity to announce this at the forum, and Dennis Dura did so to applause. So as not to be scooped on our own announcement, staff onsite at ARRL Expo put together the story that was posted on the ARRL Web site. I apologize for not getting the actual letter into your hands a bit sooner. Dave Sumner, K1ZZ
