Jeff,
Thanks for sharing the article. I don't know John personally but we did
shake hands one day several years ago at Dayton - recognizing one anothers
calls from various contests. Truly a gentleman on the air as well...often
a did-dit or "Hi Dick" during a contest. Great to hear and read of the
respect and honor given to him by his community - where people see him
regularly and have opportunity to rub elbows with him. Character and
integrity - great virtues - glad he represents us well.
Well done John!!
73,
Dick - W6TK
