Ev Clark & Rick Harvey

Evert Clark (on the left) left us in the middle Eighties. He was an really nice guy. Ev would alway be there when you needed help with a radio project. He has been missed very much. He would have loved the Internet.

Joe Murphy became a ham late in life. He used to say he is the oldest living novice. He was a funny man. Everyone loved him. He loved radio, it was tragic that he had to leave us so soon, and he would have loved the internet.

Paul or "PJ", as he liked to be known as, at the Washington Ham Fest, some time in the late seventies. PJ loved to operate on our Six Meter Repeater. We had many of our club picnics on his farm. Everyone like PJ, he has been missed.
