Fred!

I've extremely fond memories of Sid, for many of the same reasons you
stated.  When I was 16 or 17 around 1950-1951 I was really a rabid
dxer.  After finding out about the National Radio Club in 1950 I
subscribed and began regular correspondence with at least 2 dxers, Sid
Rosenbaum & Len Kruse of Dubuque, Iowa.  Sid was a wonderful
correspondent & a big help over the next few years and our relationship
was heightened when he hosted the 1953 NRC Convention in Wheeling.  A
non-dxer friend of mine & I drove from Omaha to Wheeling, thru Union
City TN & Hazard KY where he had pitched minor league ball during the
baseball season...Sid was a most gracious host.  Unfortunately after
that my dxing days were curtailed, mostly by the USAF, but girls &
nightlife also had a bit to do with it.  Somewhere in the mists of my
memory I recall receiving news of Sid's passing.

Oh, he was a darn good dxer as well.
