Nate Brightman, Queen Mary Radio Operator, Dies at 99:

Nathen "Nate" Brightman, the friendly and always smiling amateur radio
operator after whom the Queen Mary Wireless Room was named, died Friday
from pancreatic cancer. He was 99. Born Oct. 9, 1917 in Cleveland, Ohio to
Irving and Celia Brightman, he was one of six children and the last
surviving. While growing up in Cleveland, Brightman lived in the same
apartment house as Joe Shuster, the cartoonist who created Superman. It was
an era when family entertainment consisted of listening to a Victrola
record player, and later the radio, when Brightman enjoyed listening to
music and Jewish comedians. Howard Brightman said his father was
a "wonderful, warm, very people-oriented" man who always encouraged his
children to do the best they could in any endeavor. When Howard Brightman
was around 10 years old, he asked his father if he could take up amateur,
or ham radio, as a hobby. "He did the studying with me, and we passed our
radio license exams together," Howard Brightman said. "He fell in love with
it, and I moved on to other things. Dad stayed with it." Indeed, Nate
Brightman operated under the call letters K6OSC for nearly 60 years. He was
an expert to the degree that he helped Navy sailors speak to relatives and
loved ones during Vietnam, and helped with disaster relief efforts in
various parts of the world.
