* Emma Berg, W0JUV/AAR7AX (SK): Emma Berg, 102, died June 7 at Lawrence
Presbyterian Manor in Lawrence, Kansas. Mrs Berg remained active in the
Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS) on a daily basis. A member of the
Douglas County Amateur Radio Club since 1942 and a member of the
American Radio Relay League as well as Army MARS, "She was very spry for
her age," said Kansas State MARS Director John Halladay, AAA7KS. "Always
busy -- a person we could be proud to emulate in our own aging." Over
the years, Mrs Berg served as net control operator on Kansas CW nets and
was a First Lieutenant in the Civil Air Patrol. Mrs Berg edited the
Sunflower Seeds, the Kansas MARS quarterly newsletter, in her younger
years -- when she was in her 90s - and later penned the publication's
"Fun & Relaxation" articles. Outside of radio, Mrs Berg was a teacher
and administrator in Douglas County before she retired in 1962. She also
taught and was principal at several rural schools, and served as Douglas
County superintendent of public instruction from 1949 to 1959. Survivors
include two nieces, Jane Semple Cox of Phoenix, Arizona, and Nancy
Semple Menchen of Las Vegas, Nevada. The family suggests memorials to
Heart of America Hospice, 1420 Wakarusa, Suite 202, Lawrence, KS 66049
