1941: LES ALLEN W2CCO
MANY OF US HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING AND "WORKING" LES ALLEN. HE WAS A GENTLEMAN FROM THE OLD SCHOOL AND ONE OF THE MOVERS AND SHAKERS WHO FOUNDED THE DELAWARE VALLEY RADIO CLUB. LES LIVED ON QUINTON AVENUE IN TRENTON AND HAD A RADIO BUSINESS BACK IN THE 30'S AND 40'S. IN HIS LATER YEARS HE RESIDED IN NORMANDY BEACH.
I am the Hamilton Township Historian at the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection. I served in "G-2;" the U.S. Army Security Agency(ASA) with a "Top Secret Codeword" ("Crypto")military clearance. I have been married 60 years in April of 2014 to Judy Britton, my class of 1951 Hamilton High school sweetheart. We have 3 children and 9 grandchildren, and one great granddaughter. I have been a member of the amateur radio community since 1975 with the call sign WA2RVU. If the good Lord wills it, I will be logging local history when I reach the golden age of 100!
