Pearland Amateur Radio Club

I just found out about the passing of W5AKE John Allen. He was a past member and president of PARC years ago. He passed away 3/1/26 and funeral was March 13. I make it a point to celebrate the lives of our area hams and PARC members. If you hear of someone passing away that was affiliated with the club, please pass along the information so we can show proper respect by making an announcement and going to the funeral. Thanks to Ann Zimmer, W5TLB for letting us know about his passing.

John William Allen The Alvin Sun is Brazoria County’s first and oldest newspaper and was established on August 8, 1890 as the Alvin News. In 1892, it became the Alvin Sun and was published weekly for many years.
