[Fists] WZ8C, Nancy Kott SK

[NA7U]

Very sad to hear this news. Nancy and I had many wonderful email 
exchanges back when I and KS6Z (aka W6WU) also recently SK, were setting 
up our FISTS clubs. She was very supportive of our activities. She did 
so much for the use of Morse in the U.S. and we all owe her a debt of 
gratitude.

vy 73 Nancy!
