It is my sad duty to report the passing of: William Cecil Kitto KITTO, Rev. Dr. William Cecil - Peacefully on Tuesday October 13th, 2009, in North Bay, Ontario, in his 99th year. Bill was predeceased by Thelma, his wife of 68 years. He was the loving father of Barbara Babcock and her husband John of Wiarton, and of Rick Kitto and his wife Susan of London. He will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren, Andy Pugliesi, of New Orleans, Carl Pugliesi and his wife Aileen of Owen Sound, Karen Kitto and her husband Mike Collins of Chicago, and Rob Kitto, of London.

We had a great meeting on Wednesday. There were 16 hams in attendance and it sure was great to see everyone and catch up after a busy summer. There were a couple of visitors and new hams as well.
1) Henry KD8LWV has moved back to the area at least for a while. It was good to see John VA3MNK from EMO and Bob VE3MF. Mike Aultman, Adam Aultman's VA3AUL father wrote his exam and passed. As of yet he hasn't got a callsign. Well done Mike. ***UPDATE Mike's call is VA3MPR ***

Well its done! (And so am I). The upgrade to the site did not go smooooth.
I did get Drupal to reinstall with minor issues that I have since corrected - and didn't lose any info to boot! (Whew!)
If you do spot anything that seems out of the ordinary, please drop me a line.
Now I have to get the Heritage Festival pages running again - as well as the HFwiki.
