[GNHLUG] GNHLUG is turning 15! Let's have a party!

[Bayard Coolidge]

Well, I'll be with you in spirit, and will lift a frosty mug that evening
to celebrate. I'm currently spending the summer in Hendersonville, NC,
where we have a second home, and run openSUSE 11.1 on the second hard drive
on my HP dv9000z laptop. I also have a 320GB USB drive with F11, openSUSE 11.2, Karmic Koala, my backups, and a free partition for another distro.

So, I'm keeping my hand in, playing with the latest-n-greatest, as well as
looking into various amateur radio applications, particularly those used
for emergency situations (Amateur Radio Emergency Service),and trying to
evangelize Linux amongs my fellow hams, both here in the WNC mountains
(which are very reminiscent of central NH) and down in south Florida where
we live when it's not hurricane season.

I hope someone can find Bob Curry, KC1IB, possibly through the ARRL mail forwarder or some other means, and invite him to the celebration, as well
as Gary Grebus and whomever else was there that night.

Wow, 15 years - I'm still shaking my head because I remember it like it
was yesterday. My thanks to all of you for carrying it forward so well!

Best Wishes,

Bayard
