Damn Damn, Double Damn. we keep losing our best and brightest. I spoke with Fred several times because of issues that developed at a test session. He was a very nice man. I later met him at Dayton, he remembered me (I would have forgot me). Condolences to his family, and close associates. Time will show us what a great ham we have lost.
