David,
I remember he was "Mr. ADO" for quite a few years as well after moving 
out there.  Didn't he begin doing that at ET?  I haven't had any contact 
with him in at least twenty years.
If he's still a ham, maybe, in my new found status of being one, I'll 
surprise the heck out of him sometime on the air.  Any idea what his 
call is?
If you see him again, tell him an old friend says hi.  He'll get a kick 
out of knowing that I'm still knee deep in quads, and probably wont' be 
too surprised.
By the way, my request to the FCC for my dad's old call came through a 
couple of weeks ago. I am now W5LOO.  I hope to get on the air sometime 
this spring.
Guy
