Paul Anselmo, SK

Marconi Medalist and VWOA Past President

We are sad to report the passing of Paul Anselmo, AE2S, on June 23, 2009.  Paul was a Marconi Medalist, Past President and Life Member of our organization, and a long serving and devoted member of our Board of Directors.

The Officers and Directors of the Veteran Wireless Operators Association mourn the passing of a good friend, a valued colleague, and a very good man.
