20 Mar 2008 - I have received the resignation of Gary Tuck, W4GT District 2 Emergency Coordinator, effective March 20, 2008.  I would like to thank Gary sincerely for his dedication and service to amateur radio, the ARRL, emergency communications and especially the years he has spent as DEC of District 2.  I hope he will remain active in emergency communications, and I wish him the very best.
