     Al, WB2FHT, had to go QRT because of TVI and we voted to try 3927 or
     3930 but because of QRM we landed on 3931...
 
     Charlie Delk, W4DYG became a silent key around 1988. Until his death he
     did not miss a day.  Claude Ragsdale, W4EGH, the original Joker died in
     October 1995. He was NCS.
 
     You might send this to Joe Roston, W4YOS, as Joe was with through
     the years. He can correct my errors and probably add several that
     I have missed.
