JR was asking about when the third shoe would drop, and here it is. Another shocker, this one from K7VE's Facebook page.

"As many of you may know, ARDC's Outreach Manager John Hays (K7VE) recently became a silent key. We invite you to read the below post honoring our beloved colleague and friend. https://www.ardc.net/remembering-john-hays-k7ve-sk/"

I've talked with John many times at various hamfests over the last few years, always thanking him for ARDC's support of ARRL and its programs, especially the Foundation.

RIP, John.
