[Towertalk] Near Tragedy Averted

[Geo Clute W7LFD]

Your description of Don Wallace is very kind.  I use to talk to Don on 6 meters in the early 1960's.  He revealed that there was not one television in his house.  I miss him.

Speaking of seniors on towers, I recall seeing about 20 years ago in
the Los Angeles Times a picture of Don Wallace, W6AM standing at the
top of his tower when he was in his upper-80's (this was at his home
station, not the rhombic farm).  Of course, Don was anything but the
typical ham.
