[CQ-Contest] Thoughts on W3ZZ

[Rich K2WR]

Reflector messages bearing only someone’s callsign as a title are usually bad news, so I feared the worst when I saw Bob Cox’s posting about W3ZZ just now.  I first met Gene in about 1972 at a meeting of the original Murphy’s Marauders somewhere up in Connecticut.  A nicer, and smarter, ham has rarely crossed my path.  Gene and I also had the same college radio station in our past, but were spaced far enough apart in years that we never met there....  I don’t know how old Gene actually was, but somehow I don’t feel that much younger right now.  As Bob said, rest in peace, old friend, rest in peace.
