am passing this information along to the PPRAA in the event that
some members were not aware of it.  I was shocked to hear it, and only
discovered it while looking at the Silent Key listings in the current Issue
of QST.  It is the obituary of Bill Evans.

Bill's call was WD4FNY.

Bill and his wife were long time residents of Colorado Springs and resided 
in
the Stratmoor Hills South are, south of B Street.  Bill's Obituary was 
published
in the local Gazette newspaper on August 20, 2014.  I missed it completely 
as
others may have, also.

I spoke to several locals on the 2 meter frequencies that knew Bill, and 
only a
couple were aware that he was killed in a motorcycle accident in Ohio.  I 
have
no further information other than the copy of the obituary shown below.

73,

Dick
