Memories of Keith

Carla, K5RLA, managed Director Woolweaver’s ARRL booth at Ham-Com for 
several years before our retirement. I just hung around as the gopher. 
Keith’s AMSAT booth was often either next to us or across the aisle at 
Plano. She and I developed a great friendship with Keith during those 
days. We covered for each other at our tables when needed, we joked with 
each other...and we all know Keith’s sense of humor. Carla reminded me 
today of an example from those days. She had folks lined up at her 
table, selling memberships, handing out free promotional books with 
membership sales and Keith...well, he was all by his lonesome next 
door…. and then out of the blue she heard ”Come on over! I’ve got FREE 
STUFF too” then there was a pause and “Pretty girls get all the attention!”

Not ashamed to to say that we both shed a tear yesterday for our friend. 
Our friend and his smile!
