Good morning Bob:

Guess I am not doing something right as I tried to put this note on the 
Reflector but it bounced back to me.
Please help.

73,Jim

It is with deepest regret that I report the following Silent Key from QCWA 
Michigan Chapter 10:

Alex, "Polly", Polityka, W8FLA

Became a Silent Key on Sunday, May 18, 2008, at the age of 95 years.

First licensed in 1931, Polly became a member of QCWA, Michigan Chapter 10, 
in 1964, and was issued QCWA Membership # 04270.  In May of 2006, Polly was 
presented with his 75th Anniversary Of Licensing Award and his QCWA Honorary 
Life Membership Award.  He had received all of the other QCWA service 
awards, including the Century Club Award.

Polly was very active on SSB and CW, with the ability to make his Vibroplex 
Bug "sing a variety of tunes" to those of us who were fortunate enough to 
have a "rag chew" with him on CW.  He was active on the air up until early 
this year when his health would no longer permit him to operate.

He is survived by his wife, Naomi, of Fort Pierce, FL.

Per his request, there will be no viewing or services.  Cremation has taken 
place and internment will be in Michigan at a later date.
