[SMCARA] History and SK's

[Chris KC3DIG]

Good morning folks,

Remembering where you come from and honoring those who came before you 
has always been important to me so I'd like to ask two favors of everyone...

First, I'd like to make an SK page on our website to honor and remember 
our club's lost hams. If you know of any of our SK's and remember 
details like name, call sign, year they passed, favorite aspect of 
amateur radio, have a photo of them, etc., please email me. I've really 
appreciated the sense of community that we have and hate to think that 
someone could be forgotten.

Second, our club has been around a long time! Unfortunately, us new-ish 
guys know nothing of the club's history because it's never been put to 
paper (as far as I know). I would really love to hear from everyone 
who's been around a while about any tidbits of the club's history that 
you can share. What year did something cool happen? When did we start 
our club station or start using the museum? Where were we before that? 
Who are our founding members? What year did we do (??)? Who did 
something hilarious and when? Some of you will know more than others but 
don't think that "someone else will email him" so the one thing you know 
isn't important. I posed this question earlier in the year and had no 
takers. None of us will live forever so please share what you know so 
that our next generation of members can enjoy and benefit from the history.

Cheers & 73,
