>>>Honoring someone after they have passed on instead of when they are alive is one of my pet peeves. Think about it.

>>>If someone is so special after death, what were they when they were alive? Probably the same, so why not honor someone like Jim while they are alive.

>>>I sure wish I had known him.

Thom: Your points are well taken. It's all about politics, knowing the "right" people, and shameless self-promotion. None of which apply to Jim White, K4OJ.

Two years ago I tried to nominate the most deserving person on the planet for the CQ Contest Hall of Fame (not K4OJ), and could not jump through the hurdles. I tried to get others involved, with no success. 

No good deed goes unpunished.
