Radio Quote
of the Month: “TV gives everyone an image, but radio gives birth to a million images in a million brains." — Peggy Noonan
On Saturday, June 2, NJARC members attended a memorial service for
Charles Blanding along with many of his friends and family.
A highlight of this 'celebration of his life' was a heartfelt (and
funny!) tribute by his friend Allan
Sniffen (of "Rewound
Radio" fame)
recounting Charles' lifelong fascination with radio and some of his
adventures - and misadventures - as a kid.

MEETING
TOPIC:
"Phil Weingarten - Master Duplicator" Prof. Tom Perera
At
our August meeting, Tom Perera will enlighten, entertain and/or worry
you with the information he has collected regarding the skillful
reproductions of vintage radio parts produced years ago by Phil
Weingarten. Phil's fakes often fooled even the experts, and were so
well-done that today some of them command prices in the collector
community close to what the originals bring.
Don't forget that besides our regular monthly meetings, there are
informal social gatherings on Zoom every Tuesday and Thursday.
