[TVARC] RIP Tom Grosvenor, NV1U

[RALPH WHITACRE]

Now I get it. A couple days ago I thought I heard some CW, but my rig was not turned on. It must have been Tom sending us a message from above. God bless and hold ya, brother. You'll be missed down here. Vy 73.

He served as an officer for a year, and he volunteered to coordinate Radio on the Square, even when he was brand new to the club.  He had a way of engaging members and encouraging participation.  Tom was a fixture at club meetings and events, including Radio Rodeo, Radio on the Square, the MS Walk, QCWA brunch, nets and Chicken Chompers (a weekly gathering at Chick-fil-A).  He had an endearing, quirky sense of humor and was always ready with a story.
