Having dealt with Dan Ferguson very recently myself, I would also like to
commend him as being a gentleman and nice person. Dan recently sent me,
gratis, beautiful schematic copies for something for which I'd been hunting
with no success for several months.

Therefore, in light of the backup evidence from Dan Ruth of Dan Ferguson's
unselfishness and display of true Christmas spirit for fellow hams, I would
like to nominate Dan Ferguson, K4VOA, as the HEATHKIT Reflectors' Ham of
the Year (this includes HEATH-Tempe as well as HEATH-cyberventure and
HEATH-qth.net).

P.S. I've got several other Heathens on my list of "great people", too, for
similar reasons. More than one person may be nominated should further such
evidence appear; any other nominations? :o)
