Changing of the Guard

Now completing her third term, ARRL President Kay Craigie, N3KN, will be
handing off the baton this week. The ARRL Board of Directors will elect her
successor when it meets January 15-16. President Craigie said it was her
privilege to serve during the ARRL Centennial in 2014 and to help usher in
Amateur Radio’s second century [Read more from ARRL News]

Changes in leadership at this level never feels comfortable to me. The
nagging concern that were losing decades of experience in a key role is
bothersome. But this is the way our system works so we look forward to what
comes next.

I cant read anything about President Craigie without recalling a Facebook
posting she made after having received a seven page, single spaced letter
in laborious detail complaining about the many sins of the ARRL.

One can only imagine just how many millions of words of derision our
leaders have endured thru the decades. It makes me wish we would redirect
all the energy expended getting new people in the hobby for a time, and
work at getting the few thousand truly miserable curmudgeons the hell out
of the hobby. The tenacity of those who truly despise amateur radio to hang
in there to the bitter end never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks for your many efforts on our behalf President Craigie, enjoy your
retirement!
