[SARES] Memorial for Delbert Philpott (WA6YOQ) - Silent Key

Below is information about the Memorial Service for our Silent Key - Del 
Philpott (WA6YOQ).

I have advised DEC Larry Carr that SARES will NOT be participating in the 
quarterly ARES/RACES drill on Saturday, Jan. 21, to allow members to attend 
the Memorial Service.  Larry gave thought in postponing the drill, but due 
to the logistics this is not possible.  Larry will be dedicating this drill 
to the memory of Del.
