Re: [IRCA] Alberta / B.C. DXer summit

Colin,

Cherish our friends as many are gone way too soon. In the last year, I have lost several close friends, Dave Williams passed in October 2014 and now Eldon Luoma a week ago.  Dave I met in 1971 and Eldon in 1970. Many others we have almost lost, so we never know.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with his younger brother Brian one summers day some 40 years ago. Brian passed away too soon around 8 years ago and I often think about him and his influence on the hobby..
