- The Secretary -

 

Trace Willette (KI6DPN) Is our Secretary.

When Trace isn't reading love letters from Arta, you will most likely find him riding around on lawnmowers, edger's, weed whackers or anything else that has less than two cylinders and sounds like a popcorn machine.  On a more serious note, Trace is a big asset to the Board and we are glad to have him and Arta apart of KPRA.

Bob became Novice in '80, General in '82 and joined the Board of KPRA about April, 1993.

His family is two grown sons, one with wife and 6 children in Poway, CA working for a high-tech electronics company and the other son with 3 children in Riverside, now working as an over-the-road truck driver. His interests are amateur radio, boating, flying, photography, traveling and keeping in touch with the special friends he's made after getting into ham radio.
