\"Artlee\"<\/p>\n

May 2016<\/h4>\n

I often pass the Police Training Building adjacent to Dominican Hospital to visit friends living at Dominican Oaks.\u00a0 Larry Edler, WB6MVK, used to conduct our monthly VE sessions there after we moved from the County Board of Education Building in Soquel.<\/p>\n

Our group of VEs of about five, met, rain or shine to examine any of our prospective or upgrading hams.\u00a0 Larry did all the \u201chard\u201d work of compiling and mailing the paperwork and stats for ARRL\/FCC use and license issuance.<\/p>\n

We volunteer examiners did the necessary monitoring and grading of exams.\u00a0 Our little team showed up at each scheduled session, whether we had a candidate or not, as walk-ins were always accepted.\u00a0 We usually had a few candidates but the numbers fell off gradually.\u00a0 There was a lengthy period when there were no candidates to examine.\u00a0 We temporarily discontinued our VE sessions.<\/p>\n

One member of our team was Fran Adamson.\u00a0 She was always present at our sessions and helping in whatever way she could.\u00a0 We became very close friends and bonded through the close proximity of our ages.\u00a0 We were both born in the same year and the same month in 1928. I was three days older than she.\u00a0 Whenever we met, we wished each other a happy birthday and remembered the good old days in the 1930s when the Great Depression was at its peak.\u00a0 Fran and her husband Frank lived in Felton and about the only times we saw each other were during VE sessions, and perhaps, Field Days at the CDF Training site in Bonny Doon.<\/p>\n

Fran passed away on May 6th<\/sup>, 2016.<\/p>\n
