[SMCARA] [Non-DoD Source] History and SK's

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

Great idea, Chris!  We should make an effort to write a short report of each year's activity for historical purposes.  If everyone thinks about this, we should be able to collect
a lot of tidbits of info on our SKs.

Garner Hayden, W3SI, SK----> Gene Talley for info
Warren Dean, SK------------> Gene Talley for info.  Warren was retired Navy and a Pearl Harbor survivor.
Al Barolet, KJ3E, SK
Walt Lefave, N3ILS, SK Dec 2012 Retired Naval Aviator and Captain for Gemini Air Cargo
Ben Hurt, W4ILA, SK
Roger Chandler, N3???

Pete butt, WA3UMY may have some historical info on the club.

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,


*Chris Ordiway - KC3DIG*
