WA4YHA
"Your Hokie Amateur"
Norman Jones - Blue Ridge, VA


Welcome!- I'm Norman Jones WA4YHA. Originally from Jonesville, VA, I now live at Blue Ridge, VA (near Roanoke) with my wife Tammy.

I am a Virginia Tech graduate (Agriculture Economics 1977) and, yes indeed, I am a Hokie nut! I have toned down some of the Hokie decoration on this page due to concerns about inappropriate use of copyrighted logos, etc., and I have removed the Gobbler sports bulletin board due to lack of time to keep it current. Nevertheless, I remain a Hokie fan through and through!

Hokie fan or otherwise, you are welcome here. Please sign my guestbook before you leave.

73 and Thanks for coming by! - Norm

It would seem that people who are college graduates, or who are attending a college, would have the intelligence to support their school in a literate and intelligent manner, without resorting to the pathetic language of thugs and morons. Obviously not.

I attempted to offer a bit of the partisan, but good-natured, banter such as has been exchanged between Tech and UVA fans for many years. I am an enthusiastic Tech grad and supporter, and I expected to be blasted by UVA folks who rightly support their school with the same enthusiasm. But I had no idea that it would result in such garbage language, filth, pathetic grammar and indeceny. Some of it came from both sides, but none of it came from the kind of people for whom I wish to provide a forum. As a result I regretfully find it necessary to remove my guestbook.

Surely institutions of higher learning can produce better quality people than this.
