Congratulations are in order for Mike Callahan for becoming Associate Member 194 of the Rare Ones’ of New Orleans. Mike is from Rush City, MN and is an avid fisherman and hunter! Of course, living in Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes is hard not to be an avid fisherman. We appreciate Mike’s support of the Rare Ones’ of New Orleans and welcome him as an Associate Member. One of these days, Mike will have to make is down to Louisiana, the Sportsman’s Paradise, for a little hunting and fishing – cajun style!

Best said in Garry’s own words: I received my first certificate in April 2017. Certificate #5. My first contact was with K5NQ on April 1, 2017. I check in with the “Rare Ones” as often as I can. There are only four of the original nine left. Thanks Big John, Frank, Louis and Capt. Scott for keeping the “Rare Ones” on the air. Thanks for my new certificate.

73,
