My best friend in this whole wide world, passed away very suddently this past Monday. He helped breath life into the Michigan Amateur Radio Alliance, and also, The Michigan Amateur Radio Telegraphers Society. He was retired after many years as an independant electrician. He was building a retirement cottage on Aux Pins Island. He was kind and loved CW and animals. He is missed terribly by his family, and especially by me. R.I.P. My friend. Love you my man.
