I sent this message to any & all parties who might be involved in this Memorial day observation. Thank you. My father survived the Infantry invasion of Omaha Beach, Normandy plus getting blown sky high from the concussion of a German tank. Finally he was on fire with chemicals sticking to his body & severely burned where other men rolled him on the ground to extinguish the flames. He survived all of that only to die in 1997 from the seeds which were planted from back then. I am very deeply saddened by a loss which did not have to be. -- Marty

Anniversary of The Bogotazo when a long civil war in Colombia started after the assasination of Liberal Party member Gaitan on this date in 1949. The entire downtown of Bogota was burned and sacked.

HK3ZOR Harry apologizes for bad attendance this week. Yesterday he had everything on sked and was on the way to take Lisa to school when Beto called and said he crashed his bike on the freeway when a car cut him off. There went the entire morning with ambulance, police, and negotiations with the other driver, but Beto is ok...the ambulance driver said no bones were broken..the bike needs several replacement parts after skidding on asphalt for about 50 ft. but will run again. Beto even borrowed a friend's bike later to take the ignition key into Bogota after he forgot it. Today Beto needs an early ride to Bogota to Univ., but Harry will try to help the net for a while, but will arrive late.
