[QCWA] Tom Atkins - VE3CDM SK

[Bob Roske]

Tnx Croft,

Tom was a true gentleman and I considered it my privilege to know him.  I 
hope things work out for his wife.

Denver isn't in the cards,  I could only make Saturday afternoon and the 
banquet and I think spending $800 (airfare and Hotel for Linda and I) for 
supper is a bit much.

Hope to see you at Dayton next year or maybe Virginia Beach for the 2008 
convention.

73,
Bob N0UF
