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.
