[SECC] Welcome to SECC - Richard, K7SZ

[Jim Nail]

I bet Richard and Gary (Chasing Those Two Beautiful Girls) were on the island at the same time.  My brother (WA2BCK) was QSL mgr for Gary back in the early 70's. We saw him and his wife at Dayton a couple years ago! Richard any comments? Gary is up in Ohio now I believe.
