[ADXA] Obituary for Melissa Lynn Schaefer

[Nick Kennedy]

This is a sad day. Having lived in Russellville for 40+ years, I was much
aware of Melissa's volunteer work as described in her ham bio. And she
always had a smile and pleasant conversation when we met at
ARVARF functions (and ADXA ones too).

I wish you the best in your readjustment, Dennis. I know it will be
difficult but hopefully it will come in time.

73
