Hello Dick, Sam Belcher was a good friend to Lee and myself.  We've known
him for a long time and can't remember a time when he didn't have a smile on
his face.  When I talked to him last month at the Las Vegas Repeater Assoc.
meeting he told me he was to have more surgery, that the double amputation
he'd had had left him with some other problems.  I will miss him and his
jokes and smiles.  73 Jan
