Joe also mentioned that we could bring radios to the April cookout, to be photographed for the on-line virtual museum.  Andy Rood said that he would send out an email, asking for radio pictures with an accompanying story.

Joe also suggested that for our club project, we could perhaps obtain a radio that would require the different talents of different club members in order to restore.  For example, one person to restore the electronics, another to restore the finish, etc.  Phil Baker asked if an email could be sent out asking if anyone had such a radio to donate.
