There is one more person who won't be using LoTW, Sarah Dorsey. Remember
her? I didn't think so. On October 5, 2005, she became the first Membership
Director of the ARRL after 91 years. She, like Mary Hobart, was not a ham
when she went to work in Newington. A search of the ARRL web site shows her
name appearing only one time, in the 2005 Index of Articles in QST. Another
search of the ARRL web site shows a job opening - for Membership Manager.
Imagine that! Actually the job posting has been there for a couple of weeks
already. So after less than 90 days on the job, the mighty League is looking
for its second Membership Manager in 91 years! I guess someone forgot to
tell her why less than one fourth of US hams are members!
