Group (and I am sorry that this is, really, off topic for the basic 
reason for this list) as an update to my request for assistance to help 
find the call letters of Scotty Bernard, the young ham radio operator 
killed in Hurricane Hilda while doing Emergency assistance -
I have been able to contact his niece and Godchild in Erath, La and she 
will be providing assistance.  From her email Scotty's mother is alive 
and I have asked her to try and find a QSL card or logbook or even a 
license.

I have also received a lot of help from list members directly looking 
through callbooks, QST SK reports, and other areas and I wish to thank 
all of them.  That is still on going.

In addition I have received helpful contact from ARRL EC personnel.

I am really hoping that out of all of this we can confirm that he was 
licensed as a ham and find his call letters allowing ARRL to consider 
placing his name on the memorial at HQ.

Since several of us OT's here in Lafayette, La knew Scotty we feel that 
it would be the honorable thing to do to complete this task.

Again thanks to all who helped and I hope to soon report success in this 
matter.

This is a great list and group of hams.

3, Art Mouton
