It is with great sadness that I learned of Dee's passing today.
Dee was a long time friend and hard working AMSAT volunteer. He took his AMSAT Area Coordinator position seriously, by continuously representing AMSAT at many, many hamfests over the years. He was a primary resource in responding to questions via the Web site and people calling the AMSAT office. You could always depend upon Dee to help out at the AMSAT booth at Dayton each year. He and Ginny would attend the yearly AMSAT Symposiums and Dee would many times be at the AMSAT Board Meetings. Every three weeks Dee would put together the ANS and distribute it. Dee will be sorely missed.
My condolences to Ginny and the family.

Dee Interdonato, NB2F died on April 8th. He was a long time Area Coordinator for NJ. Not only did he handle the booth at many NJ hamfests throughout the year but was also an invaluable help at Dayton. Several years ago, we needed help at the Greater Baltimore Hamboree & Computerfest. Dee and his wife,Ginny, drove down and worked the booth for 2 days.I could always count on him to"elmer " any new ham who had technical questions. Before retiring, Dee was the supervisor of the Radio Shop of the Port Authority of NY/NJ. He was a member of ANJRPC, BARA, Bergen County CERT, AMSAT and the Treasurer of BC FM Association.
