Happy Birthday Bob!

A big Happy Birthday to Bob, K2EUH. That image on the cake was real. No foolin’, or should I say, no PhotoShoppin’. The fact that it was made from ice cream made it doubly cool. Much credit goes to wife Pat KJ4AFB who really knows how to keep a secret, and through a surprise party.
