I happened to run acrost this while I was at work today and it caused me to stop and think how fortunate we all are to have known W1RGP He was my father, my mentor, and my best friend. He helped me get into the ham hobbie. He was the greatest man I ever had a chance of knowing. I would like to thank Doug if you get this for your memories and kind words!! I leave this picture in my fathers memory. I love you dad!
