[McHUG] In Memoriam

[Rich Mitchell]

Over the years
    His time would he give
To work for the club
    Make sure it would live.
Banquets and badges
    Repeater, hamfest
He worked with them all.
    He gave it his best.

A friend we lost
    No chance to thank
He loved the club
    His name was Frank.

Things Arduino
    And PICAXE, too
In spite of ill health
    His interest grew
Workshop to build
    The ATmega kit.
Balloons to launch
    Or with BB gun hit.

A friend we lost
    No chance to thank
Big part of McHUG
    His name was Frank.

I, out of the hobby
    For many a year
He, his tube radios,
    Got me to hear
The wonder of signals
    Phone, digital, Morse.
Got back on the air
    Joined his club, of course.

A friend I lost
    No chance to thank
A really good friend
    His name was Frank.
