BERNIE....
WB2GGL
1937-2008
THE YEAR WAS 1962 .. THE MONTH WAS SEPTEMBER...MY HAM RADIO
LICENSE HAD JUST ARRIVED IN THE MAIL...AFTER SCHOOL THAT SEPTEMBER DAY AT
LAST I FINALLY GOT TO GO ON THE AIR..6M AM WITH A CLEGG 99'ER AND A
HILLTOPPER 3 EL BEAM...CQ
6...UNLIKE TODAY THE BANDS THEN WERE LOADED WITH 12 YEAR OLDS AND WHO CAME
BACK...A 13 YEAR OLD...DAVID-WB2DZH...YOU SAW HIM LAST WEEK HERE IN
"SLICES".
TURNED OUT THE REASON
HE WAS JUST ABOUT PINNING THE S-METER ... DAVID WAS NOT EVEN 5 OR
SO BLOCKS AWAY. A NEIGHBOR...A HAM...AND THE SAME AGE GIVE OR TAKE...WOW...THAT
FOLLOWING SATURDAY MORNING DAVID INVITED ME OVER TO SEE HIS SHACK..AND TO
FURTHER WEAR OUT A WELL WORN CLICHE...THE REST REALLY IS HISTORY.
ON MY FIRST VISIT NOT
ONLY DID I MEET DAVID-WB2DZH BUT ALSO HIS BROTHER BERNIE-WB2GGL...
46 YEARS LATER IT ALL
SEEMS MORE LIKE YESTERDAY THAN YESTERDAY...
DAVID AND BERNIE BECAME
INSTANT PALS AND OVER THE YEARS WE NEVER LOST TOUCH...
BERNIE MORE SO THAN HIS
YOUNGER BRO AND I WOULD MEET AT THE LOCAL FLEA MARKETS...LIMARC .. HOSARC AND
MORE...ALSO ON LONG ISLAND WE HAD A REAL HAM RADIO STORE...THE RADIOROOM IN DEER
PARK...BERNIE WAS THERE OR I JUST MISSED HIM EACH TIME I WENT...
IN 1992 BERNIE RETIRED
FROM TWA AND MADE THE TREK WEST ALL THE WAY TO KANSAS CITY MO...EVEN FROM KS HE
WOULD COME BACK TO VISIT FAMILY AND STILL "THE RADIOROOM" WHERE I WOULD MEET HIM
AND INVARIABLY WIND UP TALKING ABOUT THE REAL GLORY DAYS OF HAM RADIO AND HOW
GREAT IT WAS TO HAVE A HAM ON JUST ABOUT EVERY BLOCK OF THE BIG APPLE AT
ONE TIME LONG AGO.
SADLY .. FOR ALL OF
US...WB2GGL BECAME A SILENT KEY ON FEBRUARY 23...WE WILL ALL MISS YOU
BERNIE...73...AND THANKS FOR BEING THERE!
THERE'S A NEW
SHERIFF IN TOWN
WELL....NOT
REALLY A SHERIFF...MORE LIKE A BARKEEP...AND SHE IS NOT NEW...
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT
HAVE BEEN HERE IN THE LAST 2 YEARS OR SO KNOW...WALTER-WA4LT HAS A DAUGHTER
DEBBIE AND DEBBIE HAS A REALLY GREAT RESTAURANT IN BROOKLYN CALLED ..."BEAST"
Message from Beast

- Selection of wine
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
HAVE VISITED YOU KNOW THIS IS SOME GREAT PLACE...WALTER EVEN HAS A CHAIR AT THE
BAR WITH HIS NAME ON IT .. NO KIDDING...
WELL DIRECTLY ACROSS
BERGEN ST. IN DEAR OL BROOKLYN ON THE OPPOSITE CORNER FROM "BEAST" SAT A VACANT STORE FRONT ***NOW HERE IN THE BIG
APPLE WE MAY NOT HAVE A COUNTRY MUSIC STATION ON AM OR FM ANYMORE BUT COUNTRY
AND THE WESTERN THEME IS VERY VERY IN*** SO AFTER LOTS OF TRIPS TO THE
SOUTHWEST..LOOKING FOR AUTHENTIC WESTERN STUFF LIKE THIS SPECIMEN:
DAUGHTER DEBBIE DECIDED
TO GRAB THAT ACROSS THE STREET LOCATION AND OPEN AN AUTHENTIC OLD WEST
STYLE WATERING HOLE AND CALL IT:
THE BRANDED
CATTLE SALOON
ABOVE
IS THE LOCATION BEFORE THE RENOVATION STARTED...SOMETIME AROUND
FEBRUARY 5TH...THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS TODAY:
NOTE THE
SCAFFOLDING....BASICALLY THE OLD PLACE IS TOTALLY COMING APART
ABOVE WAS A THREE CAR
GARAGE BEHIND THE BUILDING ... THAT SPACE, AS YOU READ THIS, IS NOW
BEING TURNED INTO A BASEMENT AND PARTY ROOM SO A LOT OF SERIOUS RENOVATING IS
GOING ON..AND NOT JUST OUTSIDE BUT INSIDE TOO:
THATS ONE OF DEB'S
FRIENDS, TAMMY, STANDING IN THE FRONT ROOM ..THE FIRST ROOM YOU ENTER WHEN YOU
ARRIVE...
