==>DAYTON HAMVENTION ANNOUNCES 2002 AWARD WINNERS
Dayton Hamvention has announced that Alanson "Hap" Holly, KC9RP, will
receive the Amateur of the Year Award for 2002. Licensed since 1965, Holly,
who is blind, produces the weekly Radio Amateur Information Network's The
RAIN Report <http://www.rainreport.com/>, an audio news and feature magazine
aimed at radio amateurs.
A Hamvention news release called Holly "an inspiration to licensed radio
amateurs, non-hams and the visually impaired and sighted individuals
worldwide." Holly has been producing The RAIN Report since 1984.
A made-for-television movie, What Love Sees, chronicled how Holly's
parents--both blind--raised four children including Hap, who lost his sight
in 1958 at the age of 7. The movie is based on the book of the same name by
San Diego teacher Susan Vreeland.
