Pat ( Ronald B Patterson) K6OQ , passed away in his sleep Sunday March 
26th just 3 days shy of his 88th birthday. Pat has been a member of 
MLDXCC, NCCC and NCDXC over the years. Former call was K6AYA. Pat 
operated a DX spotting node out of Oakdale for many years. Great guy,  
and good friend. He will be deeply missed. I have included the Obituary, 
Services Saturday April 8th in Escalon.
Pat had not made many meetings the past couple years, but I am sure 
several members of MLDXCC remember him.
