Messages Received.
From Coos de Vries VE2GTI - (ROAR President 1991-1994. - headed "Resignation" )
Dear Bill,--------------
We fly 11 May to Holland and settle in The Hague.
I have sold all my amateur radio equipment and stop. The conditions are anyhow awful, at least here.
So, no more ROAR for me. Perhaps I might make contact with the new ROAR member in Naarden.
(Malcolm Campbell PA3AHC who is now Regional Vice-President of Roar in CENAEM)
It was nice to have known you.
All the best and greetings to all
Coos, VE2GTI
