Dear friends---we are so sad to hear about George's passing. He was a good friend and mentor to so many in the ham radio community. As personal friends, he and Dorothy were the best. No one could spin a yarn quite like George! We will miss George very much, as we have missed Dorothy. Both live on in our memories, and---always with a smile. God Bless!

Gone to His Maker, yet still here in our hearts. One of the sweetest members of the family, and always willing to help out with my geneology. Never forgotten, thank you for your service.

Wenn Neptun sein Ffcllhorn ausschfcttet .23. Oktober 2011. Wir fahern zum Tauchplatz Malcolm bei recht bewegter See. In etwa 20 Meter Tiefe begrfcsst uns eine grosse Schildkrf6te, die mit Weichkorallenfressen besche4ftigt ist und bei ihrem Aufstieg wird sie von einer schf6nen Gruppe Fledermausfische begleitet. Ein grosser Napoleon beobachtet uns und beachtliche Schwe4rme von Ffcsilieren ziehen auf und abwe4rts vor einer schf6n bewachsenen Wand.Und dann haben wir fast vergessen zu atmen. Aus der Tiefe zieht ein kreisrunder Koloss auf, beinahe unbeweglich und ffcr uns doch zu schnell um ihm zu folgen. Ich habe meinen ersten Mondfisch gesehen und erst noch ein riesengrosses Exemplar. Wir gucken einander an und wir wissen sofort, es hat alle gleich beeindruckt und wir sind nicht nur wegen dem Atemregler sprachlos. Wir machen den Tauchgang mehr oder weniger konzentriert fertig und auf dem Schiff haben wir unglaublich viel zu erze4hlen und zu fragen. Als dann noch ein Dugong neben dem Schiff auftaucht und Luft holt und uns eine Schule Delpfine ein Stfcck auf dem Heimweg begleitet, war es dann bald des Guten zuviel ffcr einen einzigen Tauchgang. Einer von vielen unvergesslichen Tauchge4ngen auf dieser Reise.
