It is with sadness that we announce the passing of a very senior member
of TCRA and the Hobby in general.  Walt Kenney, W2IZC passed on March
19th.  

Walt got his ham ticket in 1935 at the age of 17.  Walt worked at the
Western Electric Plant in Kearny, NJ for 47 years.  He was born in
Elizabeth, lived in Roselle and spent 20years in Cranford before moving
to Warren in 1963.  

He was very knowledgeable in electronics and telephone systems.  Two home
made phone patch were found in his shack.  The SQL collection is
extensive and will take a long time to go thru.  I did see several rare
DSL on the walls.  A Fifty Year membership Plaque from the ARRL was found
among his awards.  He was an avid Dyer and Elmer to many.  The Ham
community has lost an excellent representative

All of his usable radio equipment was dotted to TCRA. in addition boxes
of parts etc. were also made available.
