[Fourlanders] Fwd: Update from John (N8UR) and Jody (KC8KDC)

[John Ackermann N8UR]

Hi Fourlanders --

Some of you will get the message below directly, but I wanted to send a 
note to all the contest group gang.  I've really enjoyed the chance to 
operate with W4NH over the last few years.

After we move, I plan to contest with the gang at the N8ZM hilltop site 
(Ohio has a shortage of mountains...) and look forward to working you 
from there.

Thanks to all of you for the hospitality!

73,
John

Happy New Year to all our ham friends in Atlanta!

With the new year come changes, and Jody and I want to share ours.  As
of yesterday, I am "semi-retired" from NCR and will be working half-time
through 2017 and possibly beyond.  This has been my plan for several
years, and we're really happy that it has worked out.

My new role will allow me to work remotely, and after a lot of thought
and discussion over many months, Jody and I have decided to move back to
Dayton, Ohio, where we spent over 20 years and will be closer to our
daughter.  We've bought a house in our old neighborhood and will
probably make the big move around March 1.

We have made many good friends in Atlanta, and really enjoyed the
fellowship of the ham community here.  We thank you for, and will always
remember, the warm greeting we received here.  Unfortunately, a
combination of work, health, family, and other commitments meant that we
were able to be far less active with clubs and events that we had hoped.

I wanted to send this note out now so folks knew what we were up to, but
I hope we'll continue to be in touch both before and after the move.  If
you're in Dayton for Hamvention, look us up!

Thanks and 73,
John and Jody

PS -- I didn't want to spam the mailing lists, so this note is to a
limited group and I'm sure I'm forgetting more than one friend.  So feel
free to forward this if you think appropriate.
