Harry:

I am writing to you on behalf of Steven Marrano, KC2VNI, in Atco, NJ.  
Steven sent me an email after he read my article about George, NP2N (in 
the June QST, pp. 64-65), getting back on the air after a stroke.

Steven said that he also had had a stroke and was hoping to find help 
setting up his rig.  Based on my experience with George, I am surmising 
that he is in an assisted living care center and under severe physical 
limitations.  His emails are brief and show some difficulty in typing.  
He did send his phone number: 856-768-6556 and said I could share it 
with others.  His email is steve at smarrano.com.

Would it be possible for you or another member of the BattleShip New 
Jersey ARC to phone Steve and offer him some encouragement?  I have 
asked George to call him, as well; we are planning another Field Day 
operation from his local care center here in Ames, remotely transmitting 
from an antenna a few miles away.

73 and thank you in advance.
