     I worked Sam almost every Friday evening on the local 10-10 net.for years. 
   
  Related, Yes, I asked Sam a few years ago.and said  his father and 
Harold were cousins. Sam was in his 90's
  but would not tell his exact age. 
   
  He was a great guy. Way back in the early 1930' ships would pass by 
his island. He worked a number
  of ship radio operators using light CW.... Had a car headlight 
mounted outside and keyed it from his ham shack.
