[R-390] First they chased off Nolan...

[Paul Staupe]

Tom,

Thanks for your courage in sending us your thoughts.  This list has been 
such a great inspiration to me over the past few years.... it's almost 
like talking to one of your best friends every day when I see the posts.

I was crushed when Dr. Jerry in Iowa left.... he had such great 
insight.  I always enjoyed Nolan's posts, and was amazed at the time and 
energy he spent in educating us with hours of sweat equity to prove his 
point.   And not long ago when Dallas Langford... who I consider "Mr. 
R-390" came back, I was thrilled.

I don't think any one of us has malice in our hearts... we all have a 
well deserved sense of pride in our individual accomplishments.  But as 
Rick Mish told me years ago... these radios are going to be working long 
after we're gone.... we're only custodians of them, and we owe the 
R-3xxx gear we discuss on a daily basis... and more importantly...each 
other, a truly grateful respect for a truly wonderful design....

Best regards,

Paul WØAD
Minneapolis
