[JMS] Wow!

[Bill W2DGB]

I have to endorse all the sentiments about John Kelly.  I knew him well and 
he and I were guests at each other's homes over a period of several years. 
We also collaborated on articles for the AWA OTB publication.  His 
collection was superb, as was his knowledge level of the equipment he owned. 
I recall the Millen rack, but there as so much to see that I didn't actually 
give it as much time as I should have.

John was very helpful to me in acquiring some items I was looking for. He 
was a fine gentleman, and I recall our relationship with fondness. He is 
missed by a great many people.
