[WVDXA] Official Correspondence from your Prez

[Robert Anthony]

First of all I would like to congratulate Clark on winning the election. 
What a honor to lead a great group of DX'ers and to pass along all his 
expertise to the group.
\
I am for the gathering of  the group. Either day is fine with me. All I can 
say is lets get it done and Papa November.

> "Getting together for what and where," you ask.   Fair enough.
