LARC Supports the Warrior Walk

On Saturday morning (10/19), many LARC members came out to Lakeland’s Lake Hollingsworth for the annual Warrior Walk. This event was in support of our active military, veterans, and Gold Star families. The weather could not have been more perfect!

During the National Anthem

Stationed at the start/finish line was Fred Delaney, KIDU (Net Control) and Eric Clark, W4EMT.

Stationed around Lake Hollingsworth to support the walkers and runners were:

Russ Delaney, N4RTD
Steve Shultz, N7HUQ
Ken Evers, W9KBE
Karl Thorton, KQ4BIV
Josiah Thorton, KQ4BIW
Ringo Bretton, N4SI
Bill Bustin, KF4Q
Grant Burhans, W2BF
Mary Burhans, KQ4HWU
Ed Marchese, N2TE
Howard Pierce, K4THC

Performing support and rover positions were:
Jim Stewart, W4XDS
Mike Shreve, N6MRS

And bringing up the rear, walking behind the group, was Kenny Kozla, KM4UYX. Kenny was the only LARC member supporting the Warrior Walk that actually walked all the way around the lake. Kenny is seen here getting some lifesaving assistance at one of the sponsor’s stations.

Note that he is also still vertical!

Apologies if anyone was left out. Everyone had a great time! And, it was an opportunity to support the public.

Quick Note: Keep on eye on your inbox for an email from Jim Stewart. He will be sending out ballots for the 2025 LARC Directors and Board members upcoming elections. Jim will also have instructions on how to send your completed ballots back in for counting. You have a say in the leadership of the club for next year. The results will be announced at the November meeting.
