STAN W5JYK IS SK

We recently learned our dear friend and mentor Stan W5JYK became a silent key. He loved being with our breakfast group and visiting our shack having many conversations with all folks. Stan was a kind soul and had an incredibly rich life. We all loved Stan and having him with us in any journey we had underway. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family especially his daughter Nancy Gold in Boca Raton. Stan, may you have eternal following seas and forever 88 from us all. CLICK FMI

9/11 20 YEARS

Today, we remember. Today, we pause. Today, we say a silent prayer. Today, we give thanks.

WE ALWAYS REMEMBER
