[ADXA] Updated Members Standings for Lanny, K1LEC

Congrats Lanny! 

I'll follow up with a little background info on Lanny. I first met him
in 1984 when he was in Vermont. As some of you know, my profession for
the past 40 years has been nondestructive testing in the nuclear power
industry. One of our clients was the former Yankee Atomic Electric
Company that operated a number of nuclear power plants in New England. I
was at the Vermont Yankee plant and had a free weekend just prior to the
start of the refueling outage. I heard about a ham group meeting that
weekend just a few miles up the road where they would be talking about a
"brand new" digital mode for amateur radio I wanted to learn a bit more
about.....packet radio! So I was visiting with the folks and when Lanny
found out I lived in Arkansas the told me he had a sister (I believe
two, actually) that lived in Arkansas and he asked where. He was
surprised to learn it was Searcy, where they lived. I did not know his
sister but did know his brother-in-law. 

Fast forward several years and low and behold his nephew (his sister's
son) married my niece (my older brother's daughter) so now we have
another "connection'! 

Its good to have Lanny "home" in Arkansas now that he is retired and
very nice to have him on the air (tower work thanks to N5QS/WA5YSD) and
active in ADXA. 

Keep knocking off those new band countries Lanny!

p.s. As a side note, several years ago Entergy bought the old Yankee
atomic plants that were still operating. Since that time they have all
been shut down and are in the process of being decommissioned. Lots of
good memories in working those plants in New England. Kim and I spent a
lot time there but I'm glad those days are behind me!
