Wow, Gerry.

Looks like they beat our club!

What a great bunch of kids, and, of course, Elly and Rip hold it all 
together!

Sure miss those folks, and all my friends out there, including you, of 
course!

I went to the BARC JRS. field day as usual.  The kids had a 3A setup, and
they got over 1400 contacts.  I think they did very well. Gerry
