It is with great sadness I announce the passing of My friend and mentor of 54 years, Hubert Perry, W5ZIN, at 5:40am, CT, December 31, 2008, in Bryan, Texas. I first contacted Hubert in the Summer of 1953, when I was a Junior in High School. I was using an old RX & Tx, a birthday present, probably on CW, and later on SSB. Hubert and I chased each other around this Earth on Ham Radio since then....
With my thanks for a wonderful friendship, combined with an excellent learning experienc, and ackowledging that the Good Lord above, the Chief Operator, now has a fine assistant radio operator, I remain in sorrow,
Garland Meredith, K5VY
