Part of the DRT Katrina team had the pleasure of meeting and visiting at
length with Les Rayburn (N1LF) while deployed in Ocean Springs, MS last
September.  For those who have seen my "Katrina -- Lessons Learned"
presentation, one of the photos is of Dean Haskins (KAØPII) and I talking
with Les at our DRT base.

I haven't yet seen his Wx Channel program, so I'm looking forward to
seeing it -- should be good!
