My whole point to David was related to seeing Jim Tiemstra, K6JAT, in the SK listings a few months ago where he was shown merely as a "life member" with the diamond next to his name, as were others that month. He was so much more than that, he was a high level Maxim Society member as well. I'm sure many others listed every month are Diamond or higher as well, and in my eyes they deserve some final recognition for their extra contributions to the League. Also, the intent is also, as Director Baker has noted, that "Gee, If I become a Diamond member, I'll be specially recognized when I become a SK!" Morbid but a selling point, and final "benefit", so to say. ;-) I guess the family can always decline any extra listing beyond the bare minimum. 73; Mike W7VO

I agree with this. Certainly, when I am gone there are things I do not want excessively memorialized about me in a public manner.

I would also ask if we are going to check to see if the member asked to remain anonymous. I seem to recall having that option not to have my name printed in the report.

It would probably be best not to mention bequests, since these aren't generally certain and quantifiable until a year or two after the death.

I like it. I can see this driving behavior among living members.
Could this also be an opportunity to note bequests?

Director Ritz made the suggestion that we don’t go far enough to recognize the contributions that our Silent Keys made if they were Maxim Society and/or Diamond Club members.
As this is our final goodbye to these members, we were really excited about the idea.
Attached is the mockup of what we will be rolling out going forward. Note: this is just test data, not an actual page with real data.
The Silent Keys will be recognized with their Maxim Society and Diamond Club designations along side their callsign and name.
We appreciate your ideas!
Thanks
