It is with great sadness that we report that one of the founders of the EARS club, Alan Watson, W5ERY, who was a charter member of the club from back in 1957, became a Silent Key on Sunday, September 26th.

Alan and his first wife, Bertha, were a foundation of the Club for many, many years. He was an energetic and fun-loving guy and will be missed by all those who knew him. The Club's college scholarship is named after Bertha Watson.
