I've been wondering about Dean for a few months now. Well I don't have to wonder anymore since I know he beat us to the place we all hope to be some day. I think he did a lot for the hobby as far as bringing us together via the "Castle" and this forum, starting the CDX club AKA Chargers DX club,warning us about EEI etc etc. I know he has been in bad health for a while, to the point of maybe acting out of confusion,desperation and survival and he made some bad deals with some members here. Even so, I still believe it had to be a deep blow to his heart to have to leave this fine group of folks and the forum he created. I still remember his voice through the HR-2510 like it was yesterday. RIP Dean
