NEWINGTON, CT, May 23, 2003--The second-annual ARRL Donor's Recognition
Reception afforded the assembled ARRL donors, guests, ARRL board members and
family assembled at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Officer's Club in
Dayton May 15 the opportunity to meet an architect of US naval policy--and a
fellow ham.
After a warm welcome and Maxim Society presentation by League President Jim
Haynie, W5JBP, ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ, introduced Vice Admiral John Scott
Redd, USN (ret.), K0DQ, the evening's keynote speaker. In 36 years of active
duty, Redd commanded eight organizations, led the recommissioned Fifth Fleet,
and held several senior policy positions at the Pentagon.
"We were very lucky to have Vice Admiral Redd as our speaker," said
ARRL Chief Development Officer Mary Hobart, K1MMH. "Scott captivated the
guests with amazing stories of his service to our country. He also talked about
his involvement in an education project, and how important the ARRL Education
& Technology Program is to the future of Amateur Radio."
The reception also honored the generosity of ARRL Vice President Kay Craigie,
N3KN, and her husband Carter, N3AO, who were recognized for their lifetime
support of ARRL with membership in the Maxim Society. The Maxim Society is made
up of those who have made over $10,000 in lifetime contributions to ARRL
programs. "Kay told the group about Carter's father and family, and how
their example inspired the Craigies to give something back. Their
extraordinary generosity is reflected in all areas of ARRL fund raising,"
Hobart said. "ARRL is pleased to have the opportunity to thank all of our
major donors who have supported all of our efforts to support Amateur Radio so
generously."
