[NCC] K8DI SK

[tleek8az]

This is indeed sad news.

Duane was an enthusiastic NCC member and participant -- and back in the day
when submission of a minimum number of contest logs per year was a
membership requirement, Duane always came through.

For those of you who don't attend the NCC Contesters Banquet (organized at
Dayton every year by our K3LR), each year K1AR reads off a list of names of
SKs and elicits a long moment of silence.  Each year, the list grows longer
-- and each year we recognize more and more of those calls.  It's a
sobering thought -- and another good reason to honor and treasure the very
special fellowship and friends we have through NCC and our great hobby.

RIP, Duane.  We'll work you on the other side.
