Nice posting of some great old memories, Bruce.  I can identify the gentleman in the wheelchair for you.  It is Prose Walker, W4BW.  I imagine he's a SK nowadays but I recall running into him at Rochester in 2000.  His daughter brought him to the hamfest.I I was just shooting the 10-1000 with him when this group got together for the photo.  I figured that he would fit in very well despite the fact that he wasn't an AMer so I invited him to be in the picture and by Gawd, here he is.

Anyone remember Prose Walker?

73,

MrMike, W1RC
