The most prepared man in America talks to amateur radio operators Our Handiham-affiliated amateur radio club, the Stillwater Amateur Radio Association will be welcoming Colonel Thomas J. Simonet as a guest speaker. The topic for the May 10th program Emergency Preparedness, and Colonel Simonet is well-prepared. In fact, he has been called "the most prepared man in America".
Col. Simonet has had a lengthy and distinguished career with the Air Force, and is currently assigned as an Emergency Preparedness Liaison Officer for the State of MN. In that position, he coordinates with local communities emergency managers, FEMA, and the Department of Defense to evaluate the most effective assets available to aid local communities when their resources become overwhelmed. This promises to be a very informative program for not only ham radio operators, but others as well. Being informed is an initial step in being prepared, so bring a friend and come join us for the May 10th meeting at 9 a.m. 73,
