[OKDXA] N5PA Coming To OK

[Jerry Chouinard]

Folks:

Below is N5PA's ( Alan's ) note about his reason for coming to Oklahoma.
Failed to put it in with Coy's note about maybe moving the Wednesday lunch 
to Thursday.

I believe I have relayed the traffic from Coy correctly now!  Hopefully the 
reflector will be
back in business for all in the next several hours.

Guys:

I am sending you this e-mail directly because the reflector is down.  My ISP
sends an error back stating that it cannot find mailman.qth.net.

It looks like I will be coming to Oklahoma tomorrow night and return on
Wednesday.  One of our best friends at church in Edmond died of a massive
heart attack about 6:30 last night.  He had just finished working out at the
gym and had showered and gotten dressed when he had chest pains.  They
rushed him to Mercy but they could not revive him.  John Cobbs had just
turned 50 back in November and was the financial and outreach minister at
FBC Edmond.  He and Saundra have four children, two girls in college, one
girl in high school, and on son in junior high.  John was from Del City and
played football at OU.  We think the funeral will be Monday but we do not
know yet.  My 82 year old dad is getting married tomorrow at 2:30 in Jackson
and we will fly out of Jackson sometime late tomorrow.  My dad outlived two
wives (my mother died over 50 years ago) and he and his new bride to be are
very happy with each other.  I hope that maybe some of us DXers could get
together sometime when I am up there.  It would be good to see you guys
again.  You guys keep the Cobbs family in your prayers.

73,
Alan, N5PA
