[KYHAM] The unnamed troopers of the Fayette County Ice Storm...

[Pat Spencer, KD4PWL]

Ladies and Gents,
        As we shut this operation down, and start the mounds of 
paperwork, there are going to be a lot of people recognized, and named. 
  Before all of that happens, I want to take the opportunity to 
recognize a group of people who have made this entire operation 
possible.  Please ask them to come over to your computer and share this 
with them.
        As many of us were working our 12-24 hour shifts, there were a 
group of people behind us supporting us, making sure we were okay, and 
sacrificing the the ones they loved.  The families of the hams also 
made this possible by handling things in our place at home.  They too 
deserve as much credit as those who were running the radios.  Everyone 
please tip your hats to the husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, children 
and other relatives who helped solve "home and family" problems related 
to the storm so their loved ones could serve the community.
        The only word in the English vocabulary is thanks, and it does 
not seem to be enough to express the feelings that a lot of us have.

Take Care,
Pat Spencer, KD4PWL
