[SEDXC] Fwd: SK: STAN STOKES (W4GF)

[The]

When I first met Stan Stokes he was W4VZB, in the 1960's.  He was a big time DXer in those days.  After he moved to the country, W4GF began his pursuit of 10 Band DXCC.  I think that he was one of the first in the area to obtain 10BDXCC (160 Meters through 6 Meters).  He was a world class operator and I will always remember him as a gentleman. He was a long time member of SEDXC.

RIP

  Stan lived near me off what finally became Jimmy Carter Blvd in Norcross in
the 1970's.  He moved out in the country soon after I moved to Peachtree
Corners.

Stan had a grand child inducted into the Honor Society at UGA at the
same time
my oldest daughter joined. That was about 1994 or 5. That was the
last time I saw Stan. A relative has his old call.

Stan really got into 6
meter DXCC with his big M2 beam up over 100 feet and as I recall he was well
past DXCC there.

HE was a SEDXC member for a long time. 

RIP Stan  Dave
