Wade, thank you for conveying the sad news. We should remember Helen not only as a gracious and supportive spouse of Paul, but also in her own right as a past Director of the ARRL Foundation.

Helen Grauer, N0BCI, XYL of longtime ARRL Midwest Division Director, Paul Grauer, W0FIR, SK, passed away Sunday afternoon after being in failing health for some time. Funeral services will be this Thursday at 10 AM at the Wilson, KS, United Methodist Church. Memorials may be directed to the Wilson United Methodist Church or the Paul and Helen Grauer ARRL Scholarship Fund. I am sure many of you will remember Helen when she traveled with Paul to the many hamfests in Iowa and across the Midwest Division. I remember her as a very kind and gracious lady. 73, Wade W0EJ
