<VV> Passing of Frank Burkhard

[ed connolly]

Jim, I remember your dad and your mother well from NJACE meetings during the '70s and early '80s.  They were a young, vital couple and he was the consummate engineer, central to the character of the club.  Wish I could convey the picture of him in my mind to you clearly.
Best regards,
Ed Connolly

Jim, Thanks for sharing the sad news. I enjoyed reading his posts here on VV. He shared a whole lot of knowledge which will go on helping people way into the future. JB
