[CQ-Contest] Fw: John Fleming K8UP SK

[Ward Silver]

Sad news received from Sean Fleming, K8KHZ today...Sean's father and Marsha N8FE's husband, John Fleming K8UP has become an SK following a short illness.  He was a member of Mad River Radio Club and South Eastern Michigan DX Association. John was an A-1 OP member and an active District Emergency Manager in the Michigan Section.  He had over 200 DXCC Entities was a member of QCWA.  Contesters at Dayton know will well remember John's friendly smile - I thoroughly enjoyed sharing a dinner table with John and Marsha at the annual Contest Dinner this year.  I know I speak for the entire contest community in extending our sympathies and condolences to the Flemings.
