I learned a great deal from LB. I read his antenna notes for years before I
ever asked him a question. He was very kind and helpful teaching me about the
mathematics of antennas for my masters thesis. Then, later, I thanked him for
his note on losing his spouse. It meant a great deal to me to find another
person to share the pain of losing someone so close. I exchanged many emails
with him on this subject because I had recently lost my wife. He was very kind
once again. I will miss you very much LB.
VY 73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
