Well, good news and bad news -- the good news first. �I want to let you
know that I completed my graduate program at UNL successfully. �It's
been a dream of mine for nearly 4 decades to finish my doctorate. �So
you may now refer to me as Dr. K�AIZ. �However, I prefer Art. �The bad
news is that I've run out of the "I'm busy with school" excuse. � The
six weeks of September/October I spent in California dealing with the
illness and death of my mother took its toll on trying to complete the
degree. �So the time since her passing has consisted of 15 to 20 hour
days trying to catch up on finishing a dissertation and preparing for a
final defense oral exam. �I hope I didn't cause too much consternation
while I was distracted.
At the top of my "I really needed to" list is one of the more
pleasurable things I put off. �That is to recognize the dedication,
talent, and insight offered by one of our own. �Joe Eisenberg, K�NEB,
is well known as a ham, an expert in kit building, and a photographer.
He has given many presentations on kit building and the technical
aspects of ham radio in venues ranging from club meetings to
conventions. �His enthusiasm is unmatched and the skill he brings to
his endeavors is phenomenal.
CQ magazine noticed that, too. �I am very pleased to acknowledge that
Joe is now a contributing editor for the magazine. �He is writing a
column called "Kit Building" for each issue. �I think you will find his
columns interesting and well worth the time to read. �I've been
building electronics almost since Marconi twisted two wires together
(or at least I feel that way sometime) and I find things to learn from
Joe. �
Congratulations, Joe. �You are an asset to the Section, a great
contributor to the hobby, and a wonderful friend to have.
I'll be playing more catch-up soon. �Until then, enjoy winter, the
hobby, and your family. �
73,
