Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Mr. G had some accomplices in his operation. Are we being a bit premature in celebrating this arrest if others will pick up his ball? I would agree that by watching ole Jack fry might be incentive enough for his willing accomplices to get themselves under control. 73, Wade W0EJ

I am glad that there will soon be great glee among the ham folks in Califoreeee.

Although I believe the source of the following is reliable, I don't think the League should propagate the news until authoritative confirmation is received and details become available.
