[bars] Former BARS Member - Fred DeVries AC1BN SK

[Tom Walsh]

I was sad to learn this week of the passing on November 2, 2020 of Fred DeVries Jr., AC1BN, a former BARS member from Billerica.  A
couple of years ago Fred moved to Reno, NV.  I spotted his call in the March 2021 QST on the Silent Keys page.  

Fred joined BARS about 5 years ago as a new ham and was very enthusiastic about the hobby.  He brought a lot of cheer to our
meetings.  

Here is a brief excerpt from our BARS meeting minutes captured back in  March 2017:  "Fred, AC1BN, said he reached his 1-year
licensed DXCC entity goal of 50. He is actually up to 52 now! Fred was also excited about having an Ameritron AL811E linear on the
way."   See https://www.w1hh.org/bars-meeting-report-for-march-1-2017/
