[MRCA] Emidio Ciccone Silent Key

[B Smith]

I deeply saddened  to report that Jeff Ciccone's father WA2FSX passed 
away yesterday (Sunday) at 18:30 hours after a hospital stay. 
Emidio's  call was WA2FSX. He and his son Jeff were regular attendees 
at Gilbert, Dayton, and Aberdeen. I always admired Jeff and Emidio for 
their closeness and the fact that they has so many interests in 
common. Emidio loved amateur radio and surplus military gear, I loved 
his stories of  the famed "Radio Row" and of  his WWII travels and 
Fort  Monmouth.

A portion of Jeff's email is below:
"I was going through his papers from WW2. He served almost 3-1/2 years 
from 1942-1945. He started out as a radio repairman in the signal 
corps then was transferred to weather instrument technician in the 
AAF. He still had his lessons/notes from Ft Monmouth.! He flew all 
over central Africa and Arabia maintained weather instruments 
including the ubiquitous radiosonde. . .
