[EAS] [sbe-eas] : The time has come

[Clay Freinwald]

Thanks Ben - 

 

25 years is a long time to do volunteer work!.

I'm not taking my marbles and going home...and will continue to work with our States EAS Effort.   My wife is pleased as a lot of my home-life has been spent doing EAS.

 

I still have plenty to keep my busy - NWPB, ATC, KING-FM, KIRO-FM etc.

I wanted everyone to know -

 

In the event you were not in attendance at the last Washington SECC Zoom Meeting last week,  

you missed something that I wanted to make sure you knew.   

That something was the announcement of my retirement as Chair of this Committee.

 

The Plan Revision Committee has been working for some time on the replacement for our present

EAS Plan and now plans on launching WA-PAWS in September.     

I concluded that this would a good time to step down.     

Therefore, the September  14th Meeting of the SECC will be my last one as Chairman.

 

It's been a long ride - I recall how in 1996  John Price and the late Jimmy Hocutt

took me to lunch and convinced me that I should lead our States effort with this new EAS

system that was replacing EBS.

 

I told the SECC in the recent meeting that I would be around to assist the Committee 

moving forward for the next year, or so.    I offered a couple of areas where I would be willing 

to continue to serve perhaps as Vice Chair.  I also expressed interest in continuing to 

manage our Monitoring Assignment.    

 

Ultimately, the decision as to who should replace me is entirely up to the SECC.

I did submit a couple of thoughts along that line - 

I felt the Ted Buehner, our Vice Chair, is the obvious choice to become Chairman.

For Vice Chair, I mentioned Lowell Kiesow and Charlie Osgood.

 

The 'bottom line' ....It's time for me to move on.   I am well past conventional 

Retirement Age and would like to enjoy the free time that not doing so much 
EAS Work will provide.

 

Thanks for your support over the past 25 years.    I know you will do well

at keeping Washington States EAS Program in good hands.
