Silent Key
We have lost another long time net member, Garland K5VY became a silent key on April 22. Garland had a stroke several months ago and passed away in his sleep about 5 AM on April 22. His body is to be cremated and there will be a wake in a few weeks when his family can make it in from out of town. All are invited to attend the wake which will be held at his home in Bryan. Garland obituary is now on the History/Silent Key page. You may sign the guest book either here or on the Silent Key Page.
Congratulations
Congratulations to Charles WB5NGV on having received the Whitney Nugget Award this year at the picnic. Charles is always very supportive of the net and is very deserving of this award.
