[PPRAANet] Fw: [lvrac] Francis Drake . . . Silent Key . . . KL7IPV

[Dick-W0RAA]

Rob,  I am saddened to read this news regarding Frank.  We have been communicating via e-mail for the past 3 years, and he never mentioned that he had a serious illness.  I guess he just wasn't a complainer.  

As you well know, Frank sponsored the Highest Score by a PPRAA Member for the COQP.  

He will be missed.  I had an e-mail from him just 2-3 weeks ago if memory serves me correctly.  

A sad 73,

Dick
