Title: Frank's KB3AHE Memorial Service Today
Post by: W3GMS on November 15, 2014, 06:34:23 PM
Frank's memorial service was held today at the church he and Carol attended and in fact were married in many years ago.   It was good to see the AM community represented.  Here is a picture Martha took outside after the service.

It was a very nice service and appropriate that the Lutheran Church was the same one in which Carol and Frank were married.  Thank you for the picture Joe, and slight correction: W3RSW.

Also thanks to Bert for his recording of a past gathering.

                 *************
We all sure wish the very best to Carol.

Hi Rick,

Sorry for flipping two of your letters in your call-sign! 

It was great seeing so many of Franks AM Friends at the service. 

Best Wishes,
Joe, GMS

Hi Carl,

I remember Frank building a low power rig many years ago.  That may be what Johnny was holding but not sure.  I am sure someone will fill us in. 

73,
Joe, GMS

It is indeed Frank's PW little homebrew rig.

Thanks for the pics, Joe, and great seeing everyone there.  Was sad, yet happy at the same time.

Indeed. Someone mentioned that Frank would be smiling down, happy as can be to see folks in the parking lot swapping radio gear and stories about radios, cars, etc. at his Memorial Service. No doubt.
