3. Received from Association President "PETE" Hoyt, 2007.SEP.24
   
   Folks
   
   I just received an e-mail from Hank Okraski.  For those that do not know that name, he was a LONG time employee of the 'Center' and strong TD advocate.  He has long since retired from the center, but was one of the founding fathers of the National Center for Simulation (NCS) and is still part of their board of directors.  He is also a member in good standing of our association.
   
   He has suggested that the association become a member of the NCS, as there are many advantages in doing so such as visibility for the TD's, simulation news, new technologies, job opportunities, etc. Their website:  www.simulationinformation.com
