Many hams have given so very much to our hobby. In their passing, it seems unfair to only remember them with a simple callsign listing in the pages of QST or a quick note in a club newsletter. We hope to provide a method by which you can remember amateur radio operators that have contributed to our hobby.

Tom Richardson was a "force of nature". He spent his life helping people, including me. He was not an active ham. He got his license to help with emergency communications. He just had too many things to do and was not able to devote much time to ham radio. That's OK though. He was a good man. As I write this he has been gone for six years. I still miss my friend and will always will think of him fondly. Tom is on the left.
My uncle. He introduced me to amateur radio.

| Larry Walker K4KZA |
A ham for 64 years, Larry was a retired teacher and school principal. And he gave me my novice exam in the fall of 1968. In September 1968, I started the 9th grade and Larry was my English teacher. On the first day of class, he had each student stand, introduce themselves and tell what they had done over summer break. I told the class I had been teaching myself Morse Code so I could get my ham radio license. Immediately, Larry said in a stern voice he needed to see me after class. While I had done nothing wrong, I feared the worse. Instead, Larry, or Mr. Walker as we called him in class, told me he was a ham, that he lived near me and would be glad to help me get my novice ham ticket. And so he did. Over the years, he worked on a Heath HF amp for me. Years later, as he got older, I returned the favor by installing a transformer for him in a big Ameritron amp that he purchased. Always a good friend, he will be missed by many, including the members of the high school ham radio club he sponsored at Bardstown (Ky.) High School.
Dick showed me a lot of ham radio that I didn't know about. I already had a Novice license when I met Dick but I really didn't know how Ham Radio 'worked' until WB6IUU showed it to me. For whatever reason, we got to be good, close friends and we stayed in touch for many, many years no matter where our lives took us. Dick, in fact, steered me toward a good first job when I got out of the Navy, at the place in Silicon Valley where he was working. He and Margie put me up for a couple weeks after I got that job and was looking for a decent place to live. Good man, Dick. I'll miss him.

To build the largest and most complete Amateur Radio community site on the Internet - a "portal" that hams think of as the first place to go for information, to exchange ideas, and be part of what’s happening with ham radio on the Internet. eHam.net provides recognition and enjoyment to the people who use, contribute, and build the site. This project involves a management team of volunteers who each take a topic of interest and manage it with passion. The site will stand above all other ham radio sites by employing the latest technology and professional design/programming standards, developed by a team of community programmers who contribute their skills to the effort. The site will be something of which everyone involved can be proud to say they were a part. The eHam.net Team, Revision 07/2020. |
