Hi all,
Back in 1966, a Williamstown High School science teacher (WB2WAK Paul Callaghan SK, and GCARC member) started a radio club period at the school. These were held once a week towards the end of the school day on Fridays. There were 4 of us in the class, and although all 4 got novices, only Bill Farr and myself stayed with it to get the General. Bill's call was WB2BVW and my call was WB2BVV. We both became GCARC members in summer 1967 and were sponsored and welcomed by Paul WB2WAK, Doug WA2NPD (SK), and Bill Frambes, K2WAS (at that time WB2FJE). We were good friends throughout high school but in recent years lost touch. His license expired in the early 2000s, but he passed the extra and became AI2I. I just found out he became SK this past Thanksgiving, after battling cancer for a year.
He lived in Wildwood.
RIP old friend,
Darrell AB2E
