Well said Harvey and something we can all plan for.  Each of us should
have a list of clubs and organizations in our will, complete with
addresses, that should be notified after we become silent keys.  This
list shouldn't be just amateur radio groups.  It should also include a
list any dues or fees that are automatically deducted from a bank
account or billed to a credit card.  I discovered after Larry Reeves,
WA0GKZ, passed that the monthly charge for Chapter 35's web site was
still being billed to one of his credit cards.
