Hi Betsey, Good to talk to you. HNY Bill And Betty
---------- Forwarded Message ----------
Yes, there are many fond memories of being at the NYS Net Picnics in
1959 and
on, with many of them being hosted at the Arnot Forest by Fred K2RYH and Jan
and their three children. I'll never forget that big totem pole out
front and all them
young ops who attended the Clara Reger (W2RUF) traffic net picnics.
Many of us are glad to have had the acquaintance of WA2YL and to have
attended
that fine picnic held at Egg Harbor Twp hosted by Jan and her family in
2005.
Happy New Year to you all,
Bill and Betty Thompson @ W2MTA

I am sorry to have to write the sad news about Jan. She has been a
great friend for many years. Her daughters are staying at the house
currently. You are welcome to use the following information in your
newsletters, etc. as appropriate. Please feel free to add more or
delete to fit your readers. You may wish to use only acronyms or the
full title, I used both as some readers may not know what YLRL, QCWA,
ABWA, or NTS stand for. (Word file attached) 73, Phyllisan West

----------------------------------
Jan Scheuerman, WA2YL, became a Silent Key on December 24,
2007. One of her greatest interests was ham radio. Her CW (Morse Code)
was a familiar sound to Southcar and Eastcar hams all along the highways
as she drove often between her home in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Cape Coral, Florida, and
her family in New Jersey.
Jan was licensed as WN2JCE in 1963, followed by WB2JCE, KJ4N,
and finally WA2YL as an indication of her great interest in and work
with the YLRL (Young Ladiesb Radio League). The YLRL group supports
female participation in ham radio by sponsoring contests, encouraging
public service, and awarding annual scholarships to upcoming YLbs. She
was part of the first all-female DXpedition to Niue Island in 1988.
Jan was also very active in the QCWA (Quarter Century
Wireless Association) and a good recruiter for both organizations. As a
member of the International Administration Committee, her opinions were
highly respected. She held office as secretary in the local chapter and
was an active supporter of the QCWA national scholarship program.
She was a member of the ARRL (American Radio Relay League/The
National Association for Amateur Radio) for many years. She served
several years as Section Traffic Manager in Southern Florida. A very
sociable YL, Jan enjoyed attending b hamfests.b She was well known
even at the large Dayton hamfest. Her local activities included
participation in the Fort Myers Amateur Radio Club and an assignment as
hospital communicator with ARES in Lee County.
Jan operated at the ham message booth near the entrance to
the Miss America Pageant for thirty consecutive years sending NTS
(National Traffic System) messages back home for the contestants and
pageant visitors. She had fun getting to know the girls.
Her non-ham accolades include being honored by the ABWA
(America Business Womenbs Association) as b Woman Of The Yearb before
she moved to Florida.
As a member of the First Baptist Church in Cape Coral, her
musical talents were greatly appreciated as she played in the Praise
Band. She was not afraid to witness for our Lord and enjoyed many
Christian friends.
Jan battled Cancer for 14 years beginning with thyroid
cancer. She founded the Suncoast Chapter of THYCA (Thyroid Cancer
Survivors Association), a support group for thyroid cancer survivors and
their families. She is survived by a son, two daughters, two step-sons,
two sisters, and six grandchildren. She will be missed by many.
