[Alberg30] Fwd: NOAA is Firing Paul, the Weathervoice

[Wally Moran]

Hello everyone - received this today and tho it doesn't affect me 
here in Canada, I thought some of you might want to see this. 
Actually, having heard Paul, I thought he sounded a bit Swedish - 
good luck.

>If you support this lawsuit, contact the NOAA and let them know that

>faithful friend to all of us for many years - it is entirely unfair 
>of the NOAA to retire him in this manner. He is being given no 
>consideration, no sendoff, nothing. Let's all support Paul.
