Brett Garrett (VE7GM) has become a silent key. He was an active member of the club for the last 10 years. Recently he moved to Green Lake and was less involved in regular club activities but he was insistent on remaining a member and remotely participating in the weekly net. A very good memorial story can be found on the Surrey Club's website at: https://ve7sar.blogspot.com/2018/08/remembering-brett-garrett-ve7gm-sk…
