[JMS] RE: Millen Relatives

[Don Buska]

Hi Joe,

Don't be confused by the call.  It is assigned to The James Millen 
Society!  John Zitzelberger W6GL is our trustee and that's why it shows 
CA as the location. Enter W1HRX into the QRZ.COM site and you will see 
it explains about our group and has the JMS in the address header..

The society at large appreciates all your and Watt's investigative work 
on the early years of Millen.  I hope Stevens can find additional for you.
