[50mhz] FFMA #1 to be given to Lee Fish K5FF

[Bill W5WVO]

All,

It's now confirmed that FFMA* #1 will be presented posthumously to
Fred Fish, W5FF (SK) in the person of his wife Lee Fish, K5FF, on
Saturday, October 25 at the Texoma Hamarama in Ardmore, OK. The
plan is to present Lee with the plaque at the ARRL forum which
begins at 9:30 AM. Coy Day, N5OK, ARRL West Gulf Division
director, will be making the presentation.

It would be great if everyone who knew Fred and Lee would make an
effort to be there. I know Lee would appreciate it.
