[OKDXA] AB5J SK

[John Geiger]

Frank used to be a fixure at the informal club
breakfasts every saturday morning here in Lawton.  I
hadn't seen him there in awhile, but have fond
memories of talking with him every week.  He will be
missed.

I got on his 147.390 repeater earlier this afternoon
when testing out an HT, and it was kind of special to
hear his call sent once more when the repeater ID'd.
