Shortly after joining the club, Don assumed the position of BVRC VE Coordinator, and has done a stellar job in that capacity since that time.  Don also coordinated the exam sessions for BVRC Technician and General license classes, along with administering special exam sessions at Field Day.  Don loved working DX and was a member of the Arkansas DX Association.  He was nearing 250 entity confirmations.  Even though he was more on the quiet side, he and I had some excellent eyeball QSOs in our trips from NWA to Russellville and back to attend ADXA meetings.  He really enjoyed ADXA get togethers.  Don will be sorely missed and his service to BVRC will be long remembered.  Don passed away in the early morning hours, this morning.  Please remember his XYL, Kim, and their family in your thoughts and prayers.
