I have the task of informing you of the passing away of
W0WLN Robert Jensen Maj. USAF (Ret) on March 23,2004.
Bob was a P38 pilot in WWII, was shot down over Germany, suffered
severe burns on left side of his body, was in German Federal Prison
for 6 mos,then in two different POW camps.
Married "Glady" in 1946, was first licensed in 1949, spent the rest
of Air Force career in Colorado. Bob and Glady moved to Wi in 1986
and he wrote 600 letters to hams in south east Wisconsin area to recruit
hams to start a chapter here. He was successful in that enough members
responded to allow the chartering of QCWA CH 162 in 1987. He served
as Sec/Treas until Nov 2003. Bob was an Elmer to many, a VEC, and
on the board of all the local ham clubs. He maintained weekly schedules
with ham friends on HF until last fall.
Bob was very active, the very personification of what an amateur
should be in thought and actions.
He will be very much missed.
