[HQRP] Fwd: UPDATE: Doug KI6DS

[Ed Manuel (N5EM)]

Gang,

I will have a "Get-Well" Card for Doug at the Saturday morning of the HQRP
Club (that's 11/20 in case you have other things on your mind.  Let's have
a good group to sign the card and wish Doug well.

Ed, N5EM

>at home, and off of work, for 6-8 weeks.

>As most of you know, Doug is a high school biology teacher and is as

>thing about all of this is arranging for a substitute teacher until
>after the holidays, and resigning as the girl's basketball coach, a job
>he's loved for 16 years.  He knows he needs to rest well for awhile, but
>will return to his school, and his hobby, with the same fervor as before,
>I'm convinced.

>I've received countless emails from QRPers wanting me to convey your
>best wishes on to Doug, which I will (and have tonight to Joanne).  I
>appreciate your concern, as does Doug.  For those wishing to send a card
>or get-well wishes, Joanne requests you send them to the house, not the

>Joanne will hand deliver them to Doug until they get to bring him home.

>The concern for Doug expressed warms my heart ... not because it's Doug
>... but because it's an expression of the fraternity this hobby has always
>been about, and inspite of our occassional differences, it is so nice to
>see how strong our fraternity remains amongst QRPers. And I'm sure there
>will be the same level concern in the future should any of our brothers or
>sisters need our support.  And should that occassion arise, please let us
>know.

>Joanne wanted me to thank you for your concern and prayers.  It has
>kept both her and Doug strong over a few very difficult days for them.
>And I thank you as well.
