I received the following email this evening. I know a few members of this 
mailing list knew Paul Bohrer, W9DUU, perhaps there are others I don't know 
about who will appreciate hearing this sad news. I have known Paul for many 
years, and can honestly say I've never met a finer person - technically, 
personally, spiritually, or any other way you care to mention. I am deeply 
saddened at his passing.

>21st.  As Tom put it, "He will be remembered as one of the most 
>progressive people to introduce VHF and UHF repeater systems and ATV in 
>the Indianapolis area.  From the first 34/76 to the many repeater systems 
>today, he linked the community."  Tom Weber, KC9GMJ, of the WISH-TV

>pre-eminent engineer here in Indy for about 45 years, most of them with 
>WTTV-4 (and later WTTK-29 as well), and the last 15 or so with WISH-8.  He 
>was also a fixture in the Ham Radio Community for even longer than 
>that.  We've all lost a tremendous resource, and a plain old good person."
