Greetings Bill,
Thanks for your report. I have been on antibiotics. Had a bad night and overslept the ANZO net. Sorry!
This coming Sunday Karen and I will be in Copenhagen.
Starting June 3, we will be visiting the USA with stays in New Jersey and on the Chesapeake Bay eastern shore (Maryland)
Yesterday I worked Len, VK2BLZ, 59 at 07:45 and lost him at 08:10. This morning: Nothing!

Greetings from Lapua
I was not on last Sunday. Explanation is good, I believe. Our
Rotary club had 20 years anniversary celebration on Saturday evening and
it lasted to 3 o´clock Sunday morning.

Re.

from his
daughter
Jane.
Just to let you all know that my father, Alan Kimble, died on Friday 25 April.
It was very peaceful and he was at home with my mother and I with him.
The service is being held at Taunton Crematorium on Wednesday 7th May at 11.00am.

Alan was one of our staunchest members, on the 80-metre net every Sunday despite increasing health problems.
He always had a useful and humorous comment about radio and Rotary and some cogent remarks on matters
financial at times, as befitted one of his banking background and experience.
Recently he had been concerned, and apologetic, that he was having difficulty keeping up his voice level and last week
he said he was having difficulty getting around in the house. We all hoped and trusted he would make a full recovery but it was not to be.
We shall miss him.!

That's all for this week,
73 to all de Bill g4yze
