I’m very sorry to report that John Lockhart has passed away. He was a great supporter of SBE66 activities, respected by all, and long-time broadcast engineer here in the Central Valley. Feel free to share any comments and memories on the link at the SBEE66 web page HERE:

 

Thanks to some unwanted computer updates this usually tardy Newsletter is later than usual but still in time to remind you all about the April meeting of the SBE66 Central Valley group on Thursday the 28th at the Clovis HomeTown Buffet.  It’s our usual noontime lunch in the back banquet room. Pay as you enter and we’ll see you there. more…
