Biography

Married 50+ years to my XYL Jan, both were licensed in May 2018 as basic with honors. Members of the Georgian Bay Amateur Radio Club, located in Owen Sound, Ontario.

We are parents, Grand Parents and Great Grand Parents. We are retired and so they all keep us hopping and very active. I will not mention the number of grand kids and great grand kids because the number keeps increasing and I don't want to re-edit all the time. It's enough to say it's a good sized group now.
