pat was a great friend to me also.
he bought ALL my antennas at a fair price when I needed to move. twice!
we REALLY 'passed a good time' when we did All Asia on a whim, a couple
years ago, with N8OO.
I sure hope they have contests in heaven.

Pat, W5WMU, passed on April 6. I met him
in 1985 when I moved to New Iberia, LA to
start off as a new Chiropractor. I met Pat
within weeks of that time and we became
good friends who have been in contact
monthly since then.
He had the finest "shack" and antenna farm
of any I have ever seen, anywhere and he
loved Ham Radio and contesting to the end
of his being. His 160M array was something
I will never forget. Truly a wonderful
friend and mentor.
