Lew, K4VX and
XYL Terri, NS0Z live in a beautiful home in the woods, on 78 acres just northeast
of Hannibal, Missouri. The property has been in the family for generations.
The soil there must be mineral-rich, since galvanized steel and aluminum have
sprouted everywhere and have grown to remarkable heights!
