Both were members of the Central Virginia Contest Club and good friends of Bob.  I assume they may have been groom's men at the wedding. Sadly Bill passed in 2014 and Roy passed in 2018.  All my old friends and contemporaries seem to be leaving us!

I was surprised to see the DX-20 because I remember a DX-40 as the first transmitter I saw him using.  Then I remembered I had a DX-20 I bought used from someone as my first transmitter - I bet I bought it from Bob!
