Gary Cline AF7BJ/SK
TBARC lost one of its own recently. Gary Cline AF7BJ succumbed to complications due to COVID-19 on January 4, 2021.
Gary had been a long-time member of TBARC, served on the board in multiple capacities, and was a great supporter of club events. Whether it was the TBARC weekly net, the monthly breakfast or directing traffic at the hamfest, Gary was always available and one we could always count on.

Nobody will forget Gary’s laugh, or his passion for camping – and then operating his radios as he camped. We will miss him. AF7BJ/SK.
