The Gulf oil catastrophe has reached us here in Portland.

[Roy Rogers]

My wife Cathy, NOAA Branch Chief, has been asked to go to NOAA's souteast region headquarters office in St Petersburg FL to help manage - among other things - NOAA's response to the BP disaster and recovery planning. She leaves next week for a minimum stay of 6 months. Given the scope of the work there, this relocation could easily go on much longer.
I will follow her there in two weeks and look to put my Coast Guard Master's license to work.
There are many aspects of life in Portland that I will miss. OMRRA, PIR, and my racing community friends are high on that list.

Right back at ya Roy! will you have the same cell number?

[Don Schmidt]

Good luck and thank you both for contributing to a solution.

[Janice Logan]

Roy, I will miss you SO much - you have been a welcome and great addition to both the Board, and OMRRA as a whole. Thank you very much, and thanks to both of you for helping out in such a hard hit area.

[Chris Burgess]

If you weren't going ot be so busy I would say go find some WERA racing and go watch.

[Don Schmidt]

I'm surprised they haven't called Bill Carter and Jim Thompson. I'll bet the OMRRA corner workers could handle it!

[Eric Iversen]

well it will be a great adventure
but i'm gonna miss racing against you
stay safe
