I just received this from Joe Moell. If anyone is interested in going down, let me know and maybe we can just carpool down. At this point, I plan on attending.
*********************************
As you may have heard, long-time T-hunter Clarke Harris WB6ADC passed suddenly on Monday afternoon July 2 at his home in Torrance. He was 82. On the previous Sunday, Clarke was dehydrated and not feeling well. At the emergency room, doctors cleared him to go home with rehydration procedures, and on Monday afternoon he died from heart failure while taking a nap.
No services were held. Donations to charity in Clarke's name can be sent to the Low Vision Center at St. Mary's Medical Center, 1055 Linden Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90813. Make checks payable to "Low Vision Center."
It was the wish of Clarke and his wife Willy that the Fullerton Radio Club benefit from his ham radio equipment, as thanks for the many years of enjoyment that Clarke received from his membership in the club. The items listed below will be offered at a silent auction during the July 18 meeting of the club, with all proceeds to the club treasury.
The Fullerton Radio Club meets at the Senior Center, 340 West Commonwealth Avenue in Fullerton (south side of Commonwealth in Amerige Park between Highland and Richman Avenues). Meeting and silent auction begin at 7:30 PM. The auction is open to FRC members and non-members alike. Please pass the word.
Items are listed below in four groups. Manuals are available for many items, a list will be posted at the meeting. Information is available regarding which items were in recent use, and as many items as possible are being pre-tested, but all are being offered "as is, cash and carry." Checks will be accepted, payable to Fullerton Radio Club. Nothing will be sold before the meeting night.
