[FCARC] Dave Dawson N8DKW's wife Sandra passed away

[Adam T. Cately]

Just talked to N8DKW Dave on the radio, and he informed me that his wife 
passed away recently - he was trying to find my contact information at 
the time, so he could notify me then, but had misplaced it.  I looked up 
online and found

I can't express how sad this makes me.

I met Sandra a few times, she had traveled with him out to our hamfests 
here, both summer and winter fests - she was a kind, out-going, pleasant 
lady and was a pleasure to chat with.  There were times you cold hear 
her chime in from the background with a comment or two during our radio 
conversations on the repeater, she was pretty quick with her humour.

Not only this has happened, but Dave also had an antenna accident where 
the antenna he had in hand slipped and dropped across some main lines 
next to his home - he's been in rehab for that for the time being.

Please keep Dave in your thoughts, maybe say a prayer for Sandra (and 
for him, also) and I'm certain we all wish the best for him for the future.

Thanks for looking -
