family, for the neighborhood, the community or the country...

and that person never knows that he/she is so admired.  If someone needs 
to be put into a hall of fame, have a street, building or other landmark 
named for them or are the subject of the outpouring of thanks and 
admiration we have all seen for KL7Y, N8SM, K4OJ, W4AN this past 
year...then do it before they are gone forever.  I am sure they would 
really appreciate knowing that they are so admired.

It is one of my pet peeves.

How true!

And there are also those who would even dump on, complain, won't support. 
It is sad to see such attitudes from our fellow hams. (See latest "thing" 
about subscription to eHam.net)

Thanks Bill for your words in my defense, they were appreciated and valued!

We will miss W4AN - the shining star on the Ham and Contest Sky. One who was 
not only superb operator, but true contester who pushed the envelope in 
station building and giving back to ham radio with his eHam.net contribution and 
caring about others.

RIP Bill!

Yuri, K3BU
