Hello,

I relative of mine recently passed away, and he has been a lifelong HAM
operator.  His name is Stanley Hails (w9wbl).   You may have known him, or
be familiar with his work, as he made keys under the label WBL Designs.  I
do not know if he was a member of the IRC, but if so, I wanted to make your
organization aware of his passing.  Also, he has quite a bit of equipment
which may be of some use to members of your organization.  I am looking for
someone who is knowledgeable about HAM equipment, as well as the materials
he may have been using to make his keys.  I can be reached via email or at
the phone number listed below.  It is actually my personal cell, but I use
it with the company I am working for now.  

Thank you,
