[Charles Neeland]

  Friday, February 15. The details of the accident are still unclear.  What I do know,  Clark Ashworth, KB0EL, was outside cleaninghis driveway when a city snow plow passed by his house going east on 88thstreet.  The snow plow then backed backdown the hill and ran over Clark.  Thetruck crushed Clark’s arm and caused massive injury to his face and head.  He was transported to Overland Park RegionalHospital emergency room.  They performedsurgery on his right eye, face, and his arm. I understand he was talking and in grave pain.  Visitation is limited to immediatefamily.  His wife, Amber, requests yourthoughts and prayers.Clark and I usually share rides to the KC DX Clubmeetings.  He owned a companyspecializing in UPS’s.  Clark recentlyretired and sold his portion of the company but still does some contract worktravelling for them.  He is a key member of a men’s weeklybible study group in De Soto.  He lovesexperimenting with antennas, working DX, and is one of the net control hams on the 3905Century Net.  He has been net control on160 meters for many years.I will try to purchase a get well card and take it to thenext meeting for signatures.   73's-Duke, W0QQ
