   Always sad to lose a Geratoler.

   With Jan’s passing, there are only 7 Geratolers remaining from the original 100 G#s that were issued:

   #39 N4NH Norm NC
   #42 W5EL Max TX
   #48 N4MM John VA
   #56 W7LR Bob MT
   #61 W2FVJ Lou NJ
   #87 W3WI Walt SC
   #90 W9VP Bill IN

   73 Barry K2MF
   G# 325

   As you do every month, thank you for keeping us informed about those Geratolers who have become silent keys, Dave.

   Interestingly, K6FM Jan WA #13 had the lowest G# of those Geratolers who are still living. With his passing, this leaves only the following 7 Geratolers in the first 100 G#s issued who are still with us:

   N4NH Jan NC #39
   W5EL Max TX #42
   N4MM John VA #48
   W7LR Bob MT #56
   W2FVJ Lou NJ #61
   W3WI Walt SC #87
   W9VP Bill IN #90
