Dawn's untimely passing at the age of 44 was a shock to all of us here in the New England area. She was active on the New England Weather Net and as a Weather Bureau Observer. As a traffic handler and net control she was prompt, thorough and efficient. Many others knew her better than I did, but I felt she deserved much recognition as a dedicated hard working handicapped YL operator. She will be missed by her fanily and all who knew her from her QTH in Keene, NH, 73 Dawn and 88
