She is making an album of the Morris family and sent a couple of pictures requesting help identifying some folks and also Bob's first radio set up in WV. One picture is of BOB at his wedding to Vicky. Two guys are in the picture with Bob, perhaps his best men/groom's men?They are KX4S , Bill Bunting, and WK4Y, Roy Davis. Does anyone know what happened to Bill? His call is not listed in QRZ.com any more. Sadly we know that Roy is a SK.
Another picture is Bob's Novice radio station in WV which was a WWII surplus Hammurland Super Pro receiver and a Heathkit DX-20 transmitter! I was suprised at that because the first transmitter I remember him having was a DX-40 with matcing VFO! Now I know where my DX-20 came from. I could not remember where I got it because I did not build it but bought it used from someone. I'll just bet I got it from BOB! He had upgraded to the DX-40!
Mary Ellen says she downloaded many articles about Bob and the radio club from the internet and will have a special section in the album in his memory! She says to say HI to "the radio guys" and "thank you for your friendship with Bob through all of his ups and downs. I know he appreciated it."
In case you want to contact her I have her e-mail and telephone number - call me and I'll give them to you.
