For those that new Elton.  He was a faithful member of the OKDXA until he
had to move to TX.

Kathy,

I've known Elton for several years. He and his wife had to move from
Oklahoma
due to health, to College Station to live with their son, who is a prof. at
Texas A and M.
Just after they moved down here Elton's wife passed away.
I repaired his TS-450 about 6 months ago. ( I work on rigs a lot for my
friends).
I had the pleasure of meeting Elton at the 7290 Net picnic this year.

This will be a great loss to ham radio. Elton was very active on all the
nets. RN5 was one of his favorites.
