I remember arriving at the airport in Vicksburg, MS. Taking a ride to the hotel along with Bob in the van for the October, 1998 AMSAT Symposium. Bob had his brand new toy with him.... the very first Kenwood THD-72 in the wild with APRS. He was showing off the way it could display information from the satellites with APRS. He showed it to those attending the Symposium. What a great ride in the van and a great ride Bob has had.

73 my friend....bruce
