I received this sad news this morning from a friend in New Zealand. Gary was a well known CW operator and wrote the "Morseman" column in Break-In which is the NZART magazine. He was a professor of physics at University of Auckland. I knew him when I was a student and then later worked with him when I was employed as a technician in the same department. He was a great teacher. The students really liked him.

Gary was a long time member of the Chicken Fat Operators club. The CFO club is devoted entirely to Morse Code. He will truly be missed as a "SILENT KEY". =========================
