Here are pictures from the Emergency Preparedness Fair held on May 11th, 2013.  The DARC membership set up shop at three Dallas Branch libraries with Dallas Office of Emergency Management, CERT, and Red Cross.   It was a great event involving served agencies and providing community awareness in times of emergency.  Dale KB5NFT did a fantastic job of setting this event up!  Thanks, Dale!

Johnny Davis K5JD PDF Print E-mail

I received the information below earlier this afternoon.  Johnny Davis is our Repeater Trustee.  Please keep him and his family in your prayers

I have just received some sad information concerning the condition of our fellow ham and friend, Johnny Davis - K5JD. Mary Ann just called to let me know that Johnny has entered in out home hospice as a result of advancing Parkinson's and Melanoma. His condition is not good and. he is now in a terminal phase. While nothing is certain, some estimates from his doctors suggest that he may not have as little as 6 weeks to live.

I ask that you help me fan out this information to as broad of a group as possible. Mary Ann would appreciate your support and prayers. I doubt that Johnny can receive any visitors but calling Mary Ann to leave a message of support for her and Johnny would be wonderful.
