Been a ham since I was a teenager, born and raised in Ohio, and like most everyone else have moved alot since I enlisted in the Air Force. Finally settled in the Denver area. Now living in Ft. Lupton, Colorado, 35 miles north east of Denver. Married to KB0IBR, Rita and all 6 boys are now married off and have 16 wonderful grandkids. One of my sons is a Ham also. Ken, KB0IBQ who lives in Arvada, Colorado. My Dad, Ralph, KB0JPL passed away in 2006. The wife and I have a full blown wood shop, doing scroll saw fret work. (see photos above)
