Follow up on the QSO Today Podcast

In the podcast for QSO Today with Eric Guth I could not remember my "Elmer" Doug Snellgrove of Dothan's call from my Novice days in the late 60s. My Dad worked with Doug at the Post Office and my Dad went to Doug to get me started in ham radio. Doug gave me the Novice test and loaned me a HT-6 transmitter for my Novice station. My novice call was WN4JFW. When Forrest WB4SVX back then and now N4FRQ living in Mobile Alabama, heard the podcast he noted that Doug's call was K4DR. A google search brought up his QSL on a site of antique QSLs. Further searches came up with the info below.  Doug's other hobby was photography. I note there is a Doug Snellgrove Memorial B&W Photography Award given each year at the Dothan Peanut Festival.
