As I sit here in the shack, I can smell the fragrances of Thanksgiving Dinner wafting down to me. With all but one of our children plus the grand children coming in an hour or so we will have a house blest and full . . . and way too noisy! Among the other features of life for which I am thankful are the many friends I've made through Amateur Radio. Of course, everyone who will read this note is on this great list. I wish each of you and your families the happiest and holiest Thanksgiving and years to come. As for our daughter and her husband who will not make it here, Frank will have to take care of these this Thanksgiving. WD8BMK et al live just outside Orlando. And . . . remember . . . Thanksgiving is not the time to give the "bird" to others. 73, Jim Jim Weaver, K8JE Director, Great Lakes Division ARRL; http://www.arrl.org/ 5065 Bethany Rd., Mason, OH 45040 Tel.: 513-459-0142; E-mail: k8je@arrl.org ARRL: The reason Amateur Radio Is!
