[SCCC] Remembering Alan Brubaker

[Dick Stepanian]

Wow - sure sorry to hear about Alan's passing.  I first met Alan when he
lived in Montalvo - Ventura area.  We lived a few blocks from each other
and I would go over and get tutored regarding contesting.  I was just
getting into contesting in those days - late 70's.  Always friendly and
ready to help.  Alan had a hugh 2 Ele quad up at the time if I recall
correctly.  And as several mentioned always ready to pass along a greeting
in the contests!

RIP my friend,

Dick - W6TK
