[IRCA] Passing of DXer Marv Robbins

[Phil Bytheway <phil_tekno@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ernie Wesolowski just passed along word to me that longtime NRC member Marv 
Robbins died in Ocala, Florida on December 17th.  He was two weeks short of his 
79th birthday.  Marv was the main host of the NRC's 1959 convention at the 
Downtowner Motor Inn in Omaha and was involved in startingthe IRCA.  He was also 
the lone survivor of the 1962 car crash in Nebraska that killed DXers Francis 
Nittler, Carroll Seth, and Hal Wagner, who were on their way from Denver to that 
year's NRC convention in Indianapolis.  The obit can be viewed at
