articles as well. His most recent, "There's a 'Secret Service' in Memphis
on the 222 Ham Band," appears in the Fall 2012 issue of CQ VHF.

son, John, Jr. ("Woody"), KI4VCK; his daughter, Christi, and two
grandchildren. The family requests that contributions in John's memory be made
to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
