One of the nicest people I have ever met was W1HX. He and Tisha were the kind of folks you felt were more like family than friends. When Norm´s best friend Howie, W1HZ passed away it seemed he lost a lot of his stamina. Someone who loved ham radio throughout his life, I once worked him while on an impromtu DX-pedition to C6A. After returning home at 2:00 AM from the casino. There he was combing the low end of 20 meters - always the DXer. If we start cloning people we need some more Norms - but then again - he was one of a kind!
