Ron Morehen, the son of silent key SFARC member Hensley Morehen WA6DJI presents us with the long lost  forgotten Club's Hall of Fame Plaque. The last engraving took place in 1983 for Ron's departed father. Prior to Hensley on receiving this recognition,  were Bip Bachman, W6BIP in 1980, Lammy Yeoman W6URA, Fay Elzey W6FAX, Bill Green W6BYS, and Wally Buckley W6GGC in 1979. All are silent keys.
