Art was my Elmer 40 years ago when I was wb5vrd-a novice. He was kind and patient. He bought a HW-101 for me out of his own pocket. I paid him back ever cent over time. We solder each others fingers many times putting the kit together. He was a WW-ll Sailor. Thank you Art, and all veterans, for your service. I miss you friend, you will never be forgotten. 73 Roger ke0fgj
