Can you believe it? Field Day was just completed. Next month is the picnic and mini field day. This month we will look at field days of yesterday. They were originally silent home movies that were dubbed to videotape with added commentary of who the people are. Come and see yourself as a younger person and in some cases with hair. We will also finalize the plans for next month. This month we will be meeting at the Red Cross building. Hope to see there. 73's de WD9HRU CIRC Minutes of meeting 6/27/
