a special mention to Gladys, XYL of Dave, KC9AMY who was kind enough to create and bring table centerpieces, goodies, and placemats for our recent Valentine’s Dinner –

regarding the picture on the placemat – clearly Marconi, but much later in life than when he made his famous first QSO’s – this photo is from the late twenties/early 30’s – just before he became a silent key.
