[K6NCG] K6NCG Field Day 2008

[Joe Getlien]

I am very sorry to say, with a great deal of regret, that I will not be able to attend subject event. I was looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to "Kissing 6 Nice Cute Girls" in teh middle of San Francisco Bay. Unfurtunately, the combination of economics and age have dictated otherwise. 

   I suspect that, before too much longer, the will be a charge just to drive by an airport. Worse that that however is the combination of kidney stones acting up and arthritis in both knees. You younger guys just remember that "golden age" is a myth - rather than gold, it's really brass and has a lot of tarnish. I'd say getting 
old(er) sucks but it still does beat out the alternative.

   It hardly seems 44 years since the Anchorage earthquake and field Day on Mt Davidson. For that much time to have passed we all must have been really having a lot of fun. 

I'll miss seeing how much YOU guys have aged.
