[QCWA] Fw: Frank Lester, W4AMJ SK

[Walter Maxwell]

I'm saddened to learn of Frank's passing. He called me about baluns last
October, shorly before Jean I left for Michigan for the Summer. Knowing of his
age I had hoped to get over to see him again before we headed north. Even so, I
had hoped to get over to see him shortly after returning to Florida on Nov 1.
I'm sorry I didn't make it before we came north.

I knew Frank from seeing him every month during the years between 1969 and 1980
at the monthly meeting of the 3999ers at the Colts Neck Inn, Colts Neck, NJ. As
most of you know, he was W2AMJ then. It's been so long since then that I've
forgotten what Frank's career was, except it may have been as manufacturers'
rep. I know he was solidly in the radio business. I'm sure Ralph can supply the
important info on Frank. He's certainly going to be missed by a lot of his
friends. My condolences to Sally.

I've also had the pleasure of knowing Ralph while I was a member of Chapter 5,
the Delaware Valley Chapter, from 1968 until 1980, when I retired to Florida and
joined Chapter 45, the Citrus Chapter in Orlando.

73 is black today,

Walt Maxwell, W2DU
