[K3PZN-List] NEWS FROM THE ARRL WEBSITE

Hi Rex...  Happy New Year!

Wow!

I think that it would be nice to send him "get well" QSL cards.  It might 
cheer him up a bit.  Maybe we could even send a card from the club to his 
family with a check enclosed telling them that we Hams take care of our own. 
I'm sure that his family will have alot of medical expenses.  Hmmmm, if only 
we could twist the arms of the club's tight wads to give up a couple bucks 
out of that $13,000 the CCARC has laying around.
