QST QST QST This week, a knock atthe door and it was Rollin Gartzke, the grandson of the late Fred Gartzke,K6YD (sk '95). Originally from Iowa Fred and I worked side by side for many years including SBARC. He was a great practical engineer with an MSdegree in electrical engineering and a super mathematician. I chatted with Rollinand told him a few stories about his grandfather and special projects we worked on. Michael is a well known local CPA https://www.mikegartzke.com and Fred's son. Rollin is Michael's son. Rollin owns and operates the 805 Pool Table Services Co. <www.805PoolTables.com> which performsall sorts of assembly, moving and maintenance of pool tables which few canafford and have space for. Apparently this esoteric work is a full time profitablebusiness. Before departing Rollin handed me a very generous gift from Michael andGartzke family to SBARC in memory of his father Fred Gartzke, K6YD.
