Tom Evans W1JC Silent Key!
Again it is with a sad heart that I have to announce the passing of Tom, W1JC. Tom had been ill for some time and had just returned home from a rehab center in Simsbury. Tom was a mainstay of our Sunday morning Chapter 149 QCWA net acting as the Net Control Operator and was also one of our Chapters' Directors. The wake for Tom was held Thursday March 27 in Simsbury and the Board of Directors would like to thank all that attended.
Tom's cheerful voice and stories will be greatly missed by all of our chapter members. Hopefully Tom will be conducting a Sunday net of his own and keeping Harold, W1EES under control.
Here's to you Tom. Knowing you was a pleasure and you will be remembered by all those antennas that are still transmitting!

Harold Chase W1EES Remembered! by K1MQ
We in Chapter 149 and the entire QCWA organization have once again lost a very special person. Harold will be remembered by all for his wisdom and humor. I only knew Harold for several years, but within that time, I learned to respect and admire him for all he had done for the amateur radio community. Even though he had his adversion to cheese and high-class named dinner entries, he always ended his conversation with a bit of levity.
We all will miss him and his sense of humor. May he rest in peace.
