This is like a weird alignment of my DX Stars.  When I was forced from my home in the Sovereign State Of South Jersey and sent to the far off land of North Carolina (darn bank!), I was lucky to meet Gary, K4MQG and the other members of the Carolina DX Association.  Since that time,  Gary has been a good friend and someone I would be glad to support for this honor.  His DX accomplishments are easy to enumerate as Bob has.  Beyond that he is a warm and genuine person, a supportive friend and a true gentleman.  Please accept my AYE in favor of his nomination and my endorsement of Bob's request.
