Re: [IRCA] John Bryant R.I.P



If John had an idea, or had tried something new from the commercial world, he would always let everyone know in what seemed to be easily flowing prose (something that I wish I could have learned from him, but perhaps it was harder to produce than it looked). The effects of his writing still resonate today.

John wasn't just a spark plug either. In a world of increasingly older hobbyists, ideas will often elicit a polite "that's nice" shortly before another nap. John's reaction was not just enthusiastic, but encouraging, coming up with more ideas to make the original one better yet.

And then, as Mark Connelly just mentioned, his knowledge of other realms...there are still good memories of waiting for the dawn DX to roll in (or sometimes not) on DXpeditions, and the wide ranging discussions we had. No time for naps there!

best wishes,

Nick

He was a very gracious person and sadly missed by everyone who knew him.

The 9th of February is the 9th anniversary of John's untimely death,
following a fall from a ladder at his home in Stillwater, OK.  I still
think of John often.  He was a good friend, mentor, teacher, and first rate
DXer.  Rest in Peace, John.  Please take a moment for some thoughts for
this amazing gentleman.    Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC.
