Well, good news and bad news -- the good news first. I want to let you
know that I completed my graduate program at UNL successfully. It's been a dream of mine for nearly 4 decades to finish my doctorate. So you may now refer to me as Dr. KØAIZ. However, I prefer Art. The bad news is that I've run out of the "I'm busy with school" excuse. The six weeks of September/October I spent in California dealing with the illness and death of my mother took its toll on trying to complete the degree. So the time since her passing has consisted of 15 to 20 hour days trying to catch up on finishing a dissertation and preparing for a final defense oral exam. I hope I didn't cause too much consternation while I was distracted. At the top of my "I really needed to" list is one of the more pleasurable things I put off. That is to recognize the dedication, talent, and insight offered by one of our own. Joe Eisenberg, KØNEB, is well known as a ham, an expert in kit building, and a photographer. He has given many presentations on kit building and the technical aspects of ham radio in venues ranging from club meetings to conventions. His enthusiasm is unmatched and the skill he brings to his endeavors is phenomenal. CQ magazine noticed that, too. I am very pleased to acknowledge that Joe is now a contributing editor for the magazine. He is writing a column called "Kit Building" for each issue. I think you will find his columns interesting and well worth the time to read. I've been building electronics almost since Marconi twisted two wires together (or at least I feel that way sometime) and I find things to learn from Joe. Congratulations, Joe. You are an asset to the Section, a great contributor to the hobby, and a wonderful friend to have. I'll be playing more catch-up soon. Until then, enjoy winter, the hobby, and your family. 73, Art KØAIZ -------------------------------------------------------------------- ARRL Nebraska Section Section Manager: Arthur I.
