life up to the lost ot oge 94. Jock wos o long{ime member
of both the Dollos ond Fort Worth chopters ond regulorly
ottended the QCWA notionol conventions with his wife
Doris. He wos olso founder of the "Jock Dye Greot Tower
Give-A-Woy Progrom" which prepored pool lists of members
or surviving fomily members hoving useoble but no
longer needed towers, ontennos, rodios or occessories to

Chopter member ond Notionol Director Vol Erwin,
W5PUI who spends on opprecioble omouni of time yeor
round on the rood representing QCWA ot numerous homfests,
conventions, ond informol gotherings, wos busily
engoged ot the 2009 Doyton Homvention followed by
Hom-Com in Plono, Texqs which onnuolly oitrocts o lorge
contingent of hqms from norih Texqs ond south Oklohomo.
Noi surprisingly, Vol, in o selfless disploy of oltruism, reiieroted
his offer to personolly extend his recruiting efforts
to Howoii or even the Fiii lslonds. While impressed, the
chopter's Executive Committee determined thot in view of
prevoiling notionol economic condiiions, this would be on
inopportune time in which to levy on ossessment on the
Fort Worth chopter in order to cover his trovel expenses.
ln o recent development (then) Secretory-Treosurer, Mr.
Wells, reported thot the chopter's meeting host, the exclusive
MidPoint Restouront & Club in Dollos, following on indepth
onolysis it commissioned, determined thot os o
result of on unusuol yeor of chopter meetings in which
there were no ofter-meeting reports of shortoges of plostic
plotes, plostic eoiing utensils, ielly glosses, unusuol consumpiion
of poper nopkins or condiments, necessity of butter-potty
removol from ceiling tiles or ceiling fons, missing
outogrophed pro-wrestler woll posters nor eiection of the
moitre d', the customory surety bond ond deposit requirements
were being woivered on o triol bosis. Mr. Wells
odded hoppily thot the resulting finonciql soving should
enoble the chopter to resume meeting-notice moilings os
well os improve its overoll stonding in the community.
The chopter meets the first Soturdoy of the month ot
I l:30 for lunch or buffet followed by o progrom ot the
MidPoint Resiouront & Club in Dollos ot the corner of LBJ
Freewoy ond Midwoy Rood. QCWA members, fomilies,
guests, ond prospective members ore invited.
