[Milsurplus] Wayne Green, W2NSD, Dead at 91.

[David Stinson]

I just received this:

Wayne Green passed away this morning in a peaceful, 
painless transition from this life on Earth. 
An eternal optimist, and one who loved to share 
his neverending zest for life, he was a friend 
to many and will bemissed greatly. 
Wayne was not afraid of dying and was very much ready to 
embark on his next great adventure to the afterlife.
73,
W2NSD (Sept 3, 1922 - Sept 13, 2013)

I met Wayne Green and spoke with him many years ago
in Las Vegas; mid-1980s.  
We spoke of my experimentation with Longwave,
which was just beginning.   He was very positive and encouraging
to a then-young ham who had been told by just about everyone else
that it was "a waste of time."   I went on to be the first to break 
1000 miles and first to break 2000 miles on 1750 mtrs and 
I credit, in part, his enthusiasm for trying new things that 
I kept at it until it "worked."
He was also the first editor to ever buy a piece of mine.

The Almighty keep you and comfort your family, Wayne.
We'll miss you.
