[Email1] Fwd: A Special THANK YOU from a Family in Kimberly Alabama

[Ronnie King]

Greetings everyone. I would like to say thank you for a job well done by
all. Those who responded to the callouts and those who help on the radio
from their stations at home, work and anyplace that you talked from.

I am forwarding this email that I received from the Jefferson County ARES
group. It is from an individual from Kimberly.

Thank you all again and enjoy this letter.

Hello everyone,

Let me say a big THANK YOU AGAIN to everyone who participated in the recent
weather events that came through Central Alabama. We cannot do what we do
without all of you stepping up and giving of your time and resources to be
a team player for Ham Radio and ARES activities. Net control operators,
storm spotters, weather reporters, served agency assignments, etc are all
needed each time we stand up a net.

I am delighted to share with you a powerful *thank you note* that I
received this week from a family in Kimberly and they wanted me to share
this with all of you. I also would like to ask each club to share this
thank you with your members because I know there are a lot of people
involved in ham radio that are not signed up for ARES or on my email
distribution list.

Here is the thank you note from Mike Harrell and his family...

*I'd personally like to thank you all. I work with the morris FD and was on
standby for the storms. The early reports I got from the net could have
saved my family last night as I live 1/10th miles from the kimberly FD that
was hit. We were lucky but as fast as this hit, warning was short. *





*Monitoring the net got me information much faster than the TV.Thanks to
everyoneMike HarrellProgrammer/AnalystCHS*

AS YOU CAN SEE BY READING THIS THANK YOU NOTE FROM THE HARRELL FAMILY, this
is why we do what we do in Ham Radio. Ham Radio really makes a difference
and we should continue to broadcast the importance of this hobby/tool to
new and old operators.

I think Mike Harrell says it best, THANK YOU ALL!!!!
73 and stay safe everyone.

PS: I obtained Mike's permission to reboardcast his thank you note.
