[SCCC] W6RR - SK

[JIM NEIGER]

Gordon was an amazing man and contributor to our hobby.  For years, I tried 
to compete with him when he was W6ITA, then W6RR,  but could never beat him. 
It was a fun to operate his station in ARRL DX SSB about 40 years ago, and 
as Dick wrote, to see him from time-to-time.
I recall the  Fresno convention,  in probably 1971, I was living in Santa 
Maria, and Gordon and Warren Davis W6IBD picked me up and drove me to the 
convention.  I remember how great it was to be with two of the all-time 
big-gun contesters from Southern California.   First time I'd ever been in a 
car with cruise control!!
I last spoke with Gordon about 3 months ago and he was clearly 
struggling...........
But to make it to Age 95.  Not too shabby.

Today's Los Angeles Times has an obituary of Gordon Marshall, W6RR.

Old friend that a group of us used to have lunch with occasionally, but
totally lost interest in radio in the past few years.

73,

Dick
