My deepest condolences to Mike and the family. Helen was a dear friend who I had the privilege of the past 5 years. She was a respected member of the Richmond Amateur Radio Club and her legacy will be long remembered through the RARC Radio School. Mike my thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow. Regards and 73, Anthony, KG4YXP.
