Well, Mike, I would not right yet. Kristen had just gotten a call from Lilah, so there is a lot going on. I'd suggest waiting a bit. That's just my personal recommendation.

I did forward Rick's e-mail to both Jim Fenstermaker, K9JF, and Dr. Woolweaver, K5RAV of the ARRL Foundation. Jim Tiemstra was on the Foundation board as well, and a member of K9JF's Scholarship Committee with the Foundation. I did not send it to anybody else on the Foundation board. I'm still in shock..... 73; Mike W7VO
