It is my sad duty to tell you that charlyne eichner (kb3gyq) died of kidney failure on wed may 20th. She had been in the nursing home since mid Jan but was not getting better. She missed last years fest because I had cancer but was determined to get there this year. I stopped to see her on the way home from the fest and gave her this years fest shirt and she got to see this years pictures. Unfortunately the lock down occurred a week later and that was the last time I was able to see her until she wound up in hospice. She was only in hospice a few days before she died.JefKb3gty

We can honor the memory of our latefriends in the SWLfest community by getting newer (and perhaps younger)acquaintances to come to future SWLfests. The SWLfest communityisn't sustainable unless we do this. Over the past several years I've brought new people to everySWLfest. We can all try to do the same, and we'll be richer forit. Plus, our friends will appreciate our welcoming them into thisamazing community. -Ed Cummings At 06:51 PM 5/6/2020, Eric A. Cottrell wrote: Hello, Another sad piece of news. Unfortunately I think Sheldon's list will getlonger each year as we all get older. I hope the fest will not fall victim to Covid-19 and we can find a way tocontinue it safely into the future. 73 Eric On Wed 5/6/2020 2:01 PM, Richard Cuff wrote: From Ed Muro...Bill was aregular at the Fest and always had a laugh and a smile, proudly wearing whatever tin hats / matching shirtswere the theme for the Scum at the banquet each year. RC --- It is with heavy heart and great sadness that I post this sad news that Frederick "Bill" Cole (N2CSA) entered Eternal Rest on May4, 2020 at home with his family. Bill was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. *A Lifelong radio hobbyist, one of the founding fathers of theScanner Scum, Bill was a member of the Cape May County Amateur Radio Cluband the Cape May County RACES. His services will be greatly missed bythe Club and RACES. Bill was an Army veteran who served in the Panama Canal Zone. Bill enjoyed Civil War Reenactments and he was an avid shooter who shared his love of shooting with his grandchildren. He will be missed by all. _______________________________________________ Swlfest mailing list Swlfest@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/swlfest To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to swlfest-requ...@hard-core-dx.com?subject=unsubscribe, or visit the URLshown above.
