Some call Al Wasielewski a walking, talking encyclopedia of emergency management.

They’re right.

Grant writer, ham radio operation and emergency management coordinator are just some of the titles that Wasielewski, 62, has held over the years.

A ham radio operator for nearly 50 years, Wasielewski has long maintained that ham radio, despite all the advancements in technology, remains a vital communication tool during and after a storm.

A native of Buffalo, New York, Wasielewski moved to San Benito in 1982. He served in the US Navy from 1969-1971 as an electronics technician. This is also when he met his late wife, Maria, in North Chicago while stationed at Great Lakes.
