[CTSARA] Leonid Soliterman (SK)

[Betsey Doane]

This is indeed sad.  Everyone at our club so much enjoyed him coming.  This
is a real shame; he had much to share.

Thank you John for letting us know.

73,
Betsey

I just received a phone call from Leonid's son Dmitriy.  Leonid passed away
over the weekend at his home here in Stamford.  He was 76 and had been a ham
in the Soviet Union (UA1LD) under the Communists before he emigrated to the
United States.  His call sign here was originally KB3CBF but under special
arrangement he had it changed to AA1LD.  Many of you have heard Leonid's
hair-raising (literally) stories about his life in the Soviet Union, about
being a ham in that environment, and especially about his experiences at
Chernobyl.

There is no local service planned at this time, although it is expected that
there will be a memorial service sometime in the future.

We will miss his good humor, interesting stories, and his presence.

This obituary appeared on-line dated Sunday.
