K1GBX passed away peacefully Tuesday 2/18/20, and is now a Silent Key.
Art's funeral we'll be held on February 24 at 12 noon at the
National Veteran Cemetery
The address is 110 Daniel Webster Hiway, Boseawen New Hampshire.
Go 93 North to exit 17.
A moment of silence was held on the net. Art's call will remain at the top of the list.
Recollections of Art's contributions to the net from the early days were mentioned. His level of energy, regular participation, and encouragement of using 6 meters will be missed.
The net offers its condolences to his wife Shirley.
David, KD1NA will attend and represent the Yankee 6 Meter Single Sideband Net.
