[html] It is with sadness that I need to announce VE6UC Don Osterland from Red Deer, became a silent key Sunday October 4th, 2009. Don suffered an acute stroke on September 15th. A Memorial gathering was held at 2:30 PM on Friday October 9th at the Usona Curling Rink.Â
On behalf of all the local hams we extend our sympathies to Norma and her family.
