Everyone,

I just received a phonecall from Steve Hart, KA9OMC in Knapp, WI, informing me that John McDonald, KB9TLV, was killed in a tractor accident at his Cumberland, WI, farm sometime earlier this week.

Steve told me that John was a regular check-in on the Menominee area repater net and the last he'd heard from him on Tuesday he was about to go out and finish plowing his driveway.  When he didn't check in on the net for a few days Steve called the local authorities in Cumberland and the went out to his farm and found him.  They suspect the accident happened sometime Tuesday evening.

Skinner funeral home in Cumberland is in charge of arrangements.  At the present time they have no listing for John on their website.  When I find out more I'll post it.
