append to JtextArea on a panel

I can't seem to get my ActionListener to append data to an existing JTextArea().

I can create an instance of the frame with the panels and working buttons using the constructor.

I can't seem to get my ActionListener class to work for appending data. It works for clearing the text fields and exiting but not for appending data to JTextArea() any suggestions?
