One of our members, Denis "Doc" Franklin, became a silent key at approximately 22:00 on Sunday September 22, 2024 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital ICU. Doc would have been 90 years old next month.
Doc is survived by his four children: Janet Franklin (Scientist), Scott "Scooter" Franklin (Helicoper Pilot), Lisa Franklin Johnson (Lawyer), and Bruce Franklin (Film Producer).
A gathering will be held on October 19, 2024 in honor of Doc. The place (most likely Vista Del Monte Retirement Community where Doc was last living) and time will be announced at a later date, but you may wish to keep the date open if you would like to celebrate Doc's life with other SBARC members, Doc's musician minstel community, and Doc's family.
RIP, OM! Ken (KA6KEN)
