[SFDXA] Fwd: [cwops] FW: [FOC] W4WJ - SK CWops #654

[The Romagni's]

This for sure is some sad news. When I got to the USA to attend college,
Don invited me to a meeting at the SFDXA, and the rest was history. Great
CW Operator, one time we both competed in a CW pileup contest at the old
WPB Hamfest, and sure he kicked my rear end hi hi... Another great one is
gone.
