Not OT! W4RNL SK
Locked
 
|
I learned a great deal from LB. I read his antenna notes for years before I ever asked him a question. He was very kind and helpful teaching me about the mathematics of antennas for my masters thesis. Then, later, I thanked him for his note on losing his spouse. It meant a great deal to me to find another person to share the pain of losing someone so close. I exchanged many emails with him on this subject because I had recently lost my wife. He was very kind once again. I will miss you very much LB.

I have recently been corresponding with LB, and have received messages from him as recently as April 16. There was no hint regarding any health concerns. Does anyone know what took him so suddenly?
