At the Jasper County ARES meeting an Award of Excellence was presented by District D DEC Ken Baremore to Andy Gabbert KA0UTD upon his retiring as Jasper County EC for the past 18 years. Andy will still remain a viable asset in Jasper county and I am sure that his wealth of knowledge and experience will be called upon in the future. Please share in your congratulations to Andy for his outstanding service to his community.

A replacement for Andy will be announced in the near future.
