What a pleasant surprise!
So, after spending the day at an Urgent Care facility, I called and had our site at roamers extended a day.
We got back at just about 5 p.m., and I stopped by the office to sight the bank card receipt for the extra day. I was asked if I had seen what was in site 63 (I'm in 64) and of course I had not. I suspected it was another Montana and said so. She said it was someone who knew me. Well, I assumed it was just another MOC'er.
As I pulled around to park it was immediately apparant by the license plate, KO4A, that it was John and Ann Kohl. What a pleasurable surprise to find them here. John had left NY about 2 a.m. an got into his stick house about 8:30 and caught a few winks, then asked Ann if she wanted to go to Roamers.
John and I were stationed in Okinawa, Japan together in the early '80's. We have communicated with each other over the years by Ham Radio, and then last year I found him on the MOC forum.
What a small and wonderful world it is.
I'll probably have some new JT Stabilizers by morning. Do you think he'll notice them missing?
what are friends for, right!
