UPDATE ON KATIE KE8LQR… She left Aug. 7 for her senior year in Germany. We will not be hearing much from her as they are 6 hours ahead of us here, and YACHT session are middle of night for her. We wish her the most exciting and successful year. Will pass along info on her time in Germany as I get them from her Mom. Enjoy the year with your fine German host family.
Perhaps we can encourage her sisters to join us from time to time on our chat sessions and youth net and keep contact with the Campbell family sisters KF8CAN Evie and KE8TYU Elizabeth.
