[ADXA] W5BPT - SK

[David Norris]

I really hate to hear this! 

Like many of us I’ve known Frank for years. It’s been fun the last few years as Bonnie and I would always run into Frank and Madge at Copeland’s in Shreveport having lunch the Saturday afternoon of the Minden Hamfest. We were there for the Hamfest, Frank and Madge were seeing the grandkids! It just worked out that way. I would tell Bonnie “Let’s go get lunch and see Frank and Madge.” 

He will be missed. 

73
