Well good afternoon Jack and everyone on the net. This is Chris, KK7HCD. Thank you Jack for running the net and a Merry Christmas to you and all that are on the net and listening. It was sad news to hear about Larry and condolences to all his friends and family. I remember hearing several of his stories, some that have already been shared, but I remember him telling me about the first 747 take-off. Apparently he was responsible for the building that needed to be put together to build the first 747, and they all went out to the tarmac and they were all wondering if it would fly because that was the first time it was to take to the air, so that was a good story. Oh, there was another one about Japanese executives visiting him and his wife and a hot tub situation that came up. His wife went to get towels and bathing suits for all the executives, came out to the deck and found them all standing there in their birthday suits. So, that was a good one. And he was always happy to share that he had a colonel for a driver as a corporal in the Marine Corps. and that would be Michael. And I wanted to, big shout out to Michael for bringing Larry to all the events. I wouldn't have met Larry otherwise, and I'm a better person for having met Larry, so I really appreciate all the effort it took to go get him, and I knew it was nothing, but I appreciate you, Michael, for bringing him to all the events that you did. He's always a positive and upbeat guy, and just immensely proud of his family. always had many many great things to say about all the great things that his family was up to so thank you Jack for the silent key calls and you will be missed for sure. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a 73 from all of us here this is KK7HCD
