[Neal McEwen]

Bill Pierpont, age 88, became a Silent Key Feb 20, 2003. As many of you
know, Bill Pierpont was the author of The Art & Skill of
Radio-Telegraphy.
His generous gesture of distributing this book freely on the Internet
and
printed at no profit to himself, allowed this inspirational and
educational publication to be enjoyed by hams all over the world. It has
been translated and published in several languages  He made a major
contribution to Amateur Radio and will be sorely missed.
