[Howard Bingham]

Here's a reminder for those with towers, from Richard Fiero 
ii  W5TFW  who is now in a wheelchair as result of a tower falling & 
him breaking more bones than I can remember the names of, he spent a 
long time in the hospital & has been back home for over a year, some 
of you may know him..
