<br>
How nice to hear from you all again! We should take a quick roll call <br>
and see who of us are still around.<br>
<br>
Love the photo montage. I believe I put that together for one of the <br>
WVARC newsletters. And I think it is posted on kkn, but I'm not sure how <br>
to access it right off. My best guess, clockwise from top left:<br>
<br>
Leigh, WB6OLD (then) operating a contest it appears from the stack of <br>
sharpened pencils.<br>
<br>
Phil Hockmeyer, WB6TVH, and me at Field Day at Rancho San Julian 1968.<br>
<br>
My brother Jim, WB6SST at the same Field Day<br>
<br>
Craig Olin, WB6FWC, while he was still alive and healthy<br>
<br>
Station of Steve Mercanet, WB6FVY<br>
<br>
Matt, WB6KPN, at his nice station where "A Ham's Wide World" was filmed <br>
in part.<br>
<br>
Me, at my college dorm, 1970.<br>
<br>
This montage, and a bunch of other stuff, used to be posted on kkn. The <br>
old link for this is<br>
<br>
