For as long as I have been fortunate to be a member of this Board, Keith Pugh, W5IU, was at every Texas hamfest I attended promoting ARISS. He was a great ambassador for the program.

Unfortunately, Keith passed away on May 24, 2019.

Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, ARISS International Chair, has posted a very nice obituary for Keith on QRZ.com. See: http://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/keith-pugh-w5iu-silent-key.659821/

We should post a news item about Keith and his passing.
