Subject: Cathy Bergman/EMR Alliance

Roy, a while back someone (I don't recall who) remarked in an e-mail
message to me that Cathy Bergman of the EMR Alliance had not been
heard from in a long time, and asked if I knew why not.  I finally
have an answer to that question, and I don't think Cathy would mind if
I quote her.
I had asked if she were ill, and she replied, "No, I am not ill.  Just
tired of carrying the entire burden of the day-to-day management of
the Alliance on my shoulders for the past decade . . .  Am taking a
while off to have a life, make some money and spend some time with my
husband."
It appears to me that Cathy is suffering "burnout" and is wisely
letting the burdens she has been shouldering for so long be carried by
others for a while.
For those new to the group who don't know Cathy Bergman or the EMR
Alliance, she founded this organization about ten years ago to spread
the word about the health hazards of EMF.  It is now a non-profit
organization, but sought this status only in the past 2 or 3 years;
previously, she ran it as her own and was therefore able to engage in
political activity.  She has worked tirelessly to fight the
Congressional efforts to ram wireless telecommunications down the
throats of an American public that does NOT want it, and has largely
succeeded in fighting off the worst of the abuses that Congress had
planned to inflict on us.  And she has increased the public awareness
of the health hazards associated with the electromagnetic fields
around electric power lines.
Her personal life has been badly neglected during this period, and her
finances have been drained, so I think she is very wise to be
reordering her priorites.  But those of us who know her miss her, at
the same time we wish her well. -- Marjorie
