Tom Benham W3DD Remembered

[Tom WA3KLR]

Attached are two pages from QST, one from 1935 and one from 1969 on Tom Benham W3DD.  I met Tom in 1969? at one of our Phil-Mont Mobile Radio Club meetings where he was the guest speaker for that meeting.  Tom was a blind ham in the Philadelphia area with amazing abilities and achievements.  

I happened to be skimming through a January 1935 issue of QST this morning and spotted what is probably the first mention of him in QST. Tom was age 20 at the time.  He became a Haverford College physics professor and later founded a foundation "Science For The Blind" which included electronic device developments to help the blind.
