[TowerTalk] Fwd: Re: 90 ft. rohn 25 stupidity!!! - clarification

[Ted Bryant]

Yes, David Fridley KG4FZR, was a professional tower climber who owned a commercial tower company
headquartered in Athens,Tn.  It is believed that David died of a heart attack while descending the
access ladder on one of his towers.  He fell about 20 feet.

73, Ted W4NZ

Oops.  It's come to my attention that someone might have thought I was
referring to David Fridley, who was killed in a (not stupid) tower accident in
Tennessee a couple of years ago in the below post.  I was definitely NOT doing
that.

My comment "Hopefully not because the guy who ran it managed to get himself
killed in a stupid tower accident..." was pejorative to illustrate that anyone
dumb enough to be fresstanding Rohn 25 tower like that as a professional tower
installer is lucky to still be alive.  It was NOT David Fridley!
