[ADXA] Sharon Taratula SK

[Don Banta]

She was a sweetheart.  Always willing to anything and everything to help you with your DXCC record and also with any abnormalities that might crop up.  She will be sorely missed here at the K5DB shack.  Hard act to follow.

Thanks for sharing, Jay.

Everyone,
Earlier today, I learned from Earl N5ZM and later confirmed from the ARRL DXCC Desk that Sharon Taratula has passed away!  This was very unexpected.  For those that didn't know Sharon, while she wasn't a ham radio operator, she played a super big part in getting your DXCC applications done!  You may have seen me more than once sing her praises!  She worked tirelessly on weekends and holidays to get your applications done.

To say she will be missed is a huge understatement!
