Dear Edemhers: "Here comes a l e t t e r tha t we real ly hate to ,;;rite. Been ho1d;fng i t up u n t i l we could t r y to foresee the future a l i t t l e , i f not cle&?ly, "About a m n t h ago, :$arty's dad came to v i s i t u.s [tor a few weeks, so we planned it then. His health was then quite goo& but no t long a f t e r he cm:k, an old ailment be- came worse and examination showed a very serious operation necessary to save his l i f e

"So, the past 2 weeks have been hectic ones. During that time he has been i n surgery 4 times, with l i f e i t s e l f i n doubt a few times. No~:r, barring th? unexpected, he seems headed for recovery. "A swny~r-long period of convalescense w i l l be required. hkrty w i l l have to care for him during th i s tir.e as she i s the only one of the family near here un9til he can t rave l enough to make the t r i p to Pernsy!.vdnia f o r the f a l l and winter period. '!We have talked i t over here and beliera that a f t e r nhat has gone on these past 2 weeks, and the s t r a i n of the exyra worry and .:iork winich will come yet ; plus her own

r i t l c troubles, %arty may not be aqy too well herself and the extra ~ o r k of the "2 Ca ention . vmuld be quiOe a burden f o r her. "Sooo, we are wondering, i f at t h i s l a t e date, some other location f o r the get-to- ge ther cou l ' d~mt be found. Be regre t -*q rrinch havi?g to ask t h i s of -yea f o r the time i s very short mv?. Hov~eVer had the operation fai led, we would have stuck to thc plans made, and u n t i l her dad's recovery seerred possible, we did not want to upset them. "This time the job would have been a bigger cne f o r her since Pop & h i e mos t helpful family would not haw beer. here to help vit'fl food, etc., f o r they w i l l be on the i r vacation at t3e t h e . nPop has suggs ted that perQps a cancellation of t b Convjn tion f o r a year would make it bigger and of more in te res t next year. Ho\-iewr that i s up to you folks . "1 see no reason wi-g WB can' t have i t here agsin next year, Certninly v?e would l ike to, f o r i t was a r e a l pleasure t o have such a w e l l bunch on hand as we had 10 month: ago. I t w i l l be a disappointment not to see you all th i s Labor Day, I can assure you of that. PerPaps then Pop w i l l be %-~ i th r;s again for it too and we can have the granc time that we had l a s t tiine. I t w i l l not see= l ike much of a ConventionT:ithout h i m , w i l l i t ? We sure regret doing th i s to the fellows' plans, but it seems the only c1pq out, f o r having an. invzlid on her hands, - i t h the a s fa i r s of the party to handle f o r 2 days, mould be quite a job. I b p e you can forgive us for l e t t i n g you down l ike this. We sha l l t r y to make up for it r ~ x t year if you l e t us. A.y.9 I do hope you can find a spod to gather t h i s year." -Joe Brauner.

We f e e l sure that everyone understands th i8 s i b a t i o n , and we a l l sgmpathise with Marty (Mrs.) Brauner a t l-er fa ther ' s i l lness . We also f e e l that a goodly number Of '"- ~ ~ b e r s , -either who were or who were not planning to attend the Convention a t

Sorry t o f i n d t h a t our 1~951 NRC convention f o r Buffalo has t o be cal: ed o f f . Wle do h o ~ e t h a t U r s Brauners Dad has a speedy recovery and a l l our bes t wishes go t o h3; Bonrever it i s believed the bes t pol icy i s being followed by calL+i: .E u f f now before plans progress and reserva- t i ons had been made, t h e n ' & cancel.lation would have t o be. This way i t might be possible t o have a gathering o r convention a t another loca t ion-

Suppose i t might seem odd t o you l ads t h a t Pop Edge i s n t taking ovei The reason f o r t h i s is, a f t e r l a s t years convention i t was thought t h a t a skip i n convention years might bring a much 1.arger crowd. W i t h t h a t ir mind Pops daughter, Jane t te , asked t h a t her-Kate and Pop Edge f i n a l l y take a vacation and go pl.aces, t h i s was impossib1.e before account of toc many Edges t o ge t t h e i r v a c a t o n a t the same kime. It being t h a t Kay wa: married in A p r i l l e f t only J a n e t t e and Pop t o ge t d e f i n i t e vacations ant together which we did, Bept 1s t t o the 15th. , So plans ha.ve been made f o r a motor t r i p of around 2500 miles taking i n Cooperstown, N.Y. Hyde Park-Berkshires-Long Is land Bound-Cape Cod-up the ea s t coas t t o Bar Ear- bor Maine, then i n t o b i n e t o Uloosehead Lake and up t o Riviere du Loup, Que, down t h e S t Lawrence t o Quebec, then t o S te Annes and back down thc 8t Lawrence m r u Trois I i ivieres, Uantreal and back home. So when some of t h e boys wrote i n regarding a 1951 convention, Marty and Joe Brauner sa id they would gladly take over t h e e n t i r e 3 day a ; f fa i r and the Edges Could go merri ly on t h e i r t r i p . So now t h a t the convention has t o be cancel.led Ole pop 1ou1.d have been too glad t o take over, but these va- ca t ion p l ans have been made, well i t s j u s t impossib3.e and you can be sure v&e a r e r e a l l y sorry. dope all. of you l ads understand the s i tuat ioj .

SO under the circumstances lets look forward t o 2952 and maybe we can f i nd t h e world s i t u a t i o n i n be t t e r shape and a convention next year w i l l f ind t h e biggest gathering of NRCers and DXers ever. Oh yes i f a t a l l poss ib le your vacationer w i l l t r y t o ge t a DX from Sta t ion CKSN a s Shawinigan Fa1l.s i s only 20 miles nor th of Trois Rivieres.
