If anyone has a 1963 or 1964 Ham Call Book would it be possible for you 
to look up the 5 area call sign for Rane Scott Joseph "Scotty" Bernard,

Scotty was killed in a tragic accident during Hurricanes Hilda in 1964 
when the storm pushed over a water tower on the CD location in which he 
was operating.

The info is at
http://www.vrml.k12.la.us/vpkids/vp/Erath/erathhistory/HurricaneHilda/WakeofTragedy.htm

I submitted the info to the author of the QST article (in the new issue) 
on the monument to hams killed while providing public service and we are 
looking for Scotty's ham call.  It has just been too long to remember it.

I know that this is a lot to ask (going through the 5 area looking for a 
name but it is for a good reason.  He was a friend of mine and had left 
the Lafayette CD station earlier that day to go operate the one closer 
to his home in Erath, La.
