>W5YR, George Baker, known to many of you as the "Yellow Rose" passed away
>while undergoing heart surgery Thursday night. George had struggled with
>medical problems resulting from a heart valve replacement that was performed
>in June of 2004. George was 75-years young.
>
>Many of you know George as a result of his unselfish efforts to help so many
>amateurs expand their technical knowledge. He was always happy to do a
>technical training session or make a technical presentation on antennas,
>baluns, transmission lines, and many other subjects of interest to the ham
>community. He made many such presentations to QRP Amateur Radio Clubs that
>were fortunate to number him among their members, and at many hamfests,
>including Hamcom in Dallas. George was a natural teacher and was more than
>technically qualified to present difficult topics in a meaningful and
>understandable manner.
>
>The family has advised that there will be a viewing Tuesday, 22 Mar. from
>5-7pm at Ridgeview Memorial Park, Exit 38 off of Hwy 75, Allen, TX 75013,
>Phone: 972-424-7834. A graveside service will be held for family and friends
>Wednesday, 23 Mar. at 2-pm.
>
>The family has requested no flowers be sent, but donations be made to one of
>the ARRL Scholarship Funds (see the details at the bottom of the "Silent
>Keys" list in any QST) or to the American Heart Association (contact a local
>chapter for details).
