As many of you on Facebook probably know (I am not on it, but know a
note was posted), a dear friend of the Old Time Radio community passed
away this past week - September 3rd - Ken Piletic.

Ken, aka W9ZMR, long time amateur radio operator, long time old time
radio enthusiast who goes back long before Jay Hickerson's FOTR
conventions recording  radio in the forties, was the first recipient of
the Allen Rockford award at the 1979 FOTR. Ken was also one of the
founders of the Old-Time Radio Collectors and Traders Society (ORCATS)
of which I was a member.

Ken's contributions to the hobby were numerous: besides his vast tape
collection he was an avid photographer and always took many pictures at
the various conventions and sharing them. He was for all purposes one of
the documenters of the conventions as his photos were often used by the
organizations. Able to retire early from IBM, he traveled to many
conventions around the country and was a regular at virtually all of the
otr conventions.

Ken's health was declining a couple of years ago and he eventually moved
to California from his long time home in Streamwood, Illinois to live
with his Neice. Eventually, his heart just gave out.  He will be missed
by many in this community.
