Nancy met FISTS’ founder George, G3ZQS (SK) in a happenstance QSO in 1988, befriended him and shortly became the head of what is now The Americas Chapter of Fists. From then till her passing on 2 March of 2014, she worked tirelessly to promote our club and Morse Code, showing kindness to all and exemplifying our mottos of “courtesy at all times” and “accuracy transcends speed”. She is deeply missed by all, but not forgotten. This will NOT be a rabid, number chasing event but a friendly celebration of what Nancy called her life’s work. All are certainly encouraged to give out their Fists numbers and collect others but more importantly, to simply be good Fists that Nancy would be proud of. Let’s promote CW on the air, make friends and encourage beginners in accordance with our club’s mission. QSL 100% Via KN0WCW www.fistsna.org
