[W2CRA] K2EVG- my dad Martin Baron, passed away

[Art Greenberg]

Steven,

My condolances on your loss.

I'm not personally familiar with anyone who can help you with the tower. 
But with this reply I am forwarding your message to the CRA email 
reflector. Hopefully a club member will be able to suggest someone 
qualified and interested in assisting you.
