On the 11th  day of December, 1957

These are the founders of the Pocatello Amateur Radio Club.                                                                      
Most likely there were many others interested in the club but 
these were the 5 that signed the incorporation papers 
with the State of Idaho. They all went SK years ago, but they
left their mark on Pocatello, and amateur radio.  

They lived in a different world, their rigs were big and heavy
full of vacuum tubes, however,  their dreams about Ham Radio
were probably much like each of ours. 
Thank you old friend for a job well done. 73
