The Scott County Amateur Radio Club would like to express our condolences to the Ennis family for their loss.  Cecil B. Ennis, K4CBE, is now a Silent Key, and went to be with our Lord.  Cecil was a regular on our Monday evening Boone Trail ARES/RACES Net, and he will be missed greatly by the amateur radio community.  Usually, on Monday night nets, you would always here "Please check in Cecil, K4CBE...ARES member...Sun, VA..."  Cecil will be missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole Ennis family.  73's Cecil, you will be missed old friend...

Thanks to all, and 73's.
Jeff Flanary
K4LMP
President
