<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I emailed John Price a bit ago and he asked that I share this here as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wrote to John and said:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>This hit me like a gut punch. I am so very sorry to hear it.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>KING5 will be flying the new antenna for our ATSC 3 station on our Queen Anne tower sometime tomorrow. I’ve written the following on the base:<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> Gary Hart, W7WWI/SK<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> April 26, 1940<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> September 2, 2021<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> A friend to Seattle<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> broadcasters<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>The same antenna will also be carrying a memorial to my own Father who passed away last February and, like Gary, provided me with encouragement and mentorship early in my career.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>It is our honor to fly a small memorial to Gary on our new antenna.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For anyone who is curious, the one to my Father reads:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Richard K. Schall<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> March 5, 1928<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> February 13, 2021<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Mr. Bells<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The monster Klarng<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I love you Dad.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is appropriate to memorialize Gary on the same antenna as my Father because both of these men provided me with encouragement and mentorship early in my career. I suspect, honestly, that Gary had a much better idea what I was up to than
my Father did, but they both believed that I could do this. Now, almost 44 years on, both men are gone and I am, a little bit more, on my own. I hope I make them proud.<o:p></o:p></p>
