When the Olathe Historical Society met at the Heritage Center just east of historic Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop & Farm the evening of Thursday, January 21, both club Secretary-Treasurer Marty Peters, KEØPEZ, and Howard Cripe, NØAZ, were there and ready to talk and talk some more about amateur radio pioneer Marshall Ensor, W9BSP, and his sister Loretta, W9UA, as long as they had an audience or questions coming their way.
Marty appeared first before the 20 or so individuals seated in front of him and showed them how a key can be used to send Morse code, then he turned the floor over to Howard, who spoke at length about what visitors to Ensor Park and Museum will see when they drop by the place during the four months of the year in which it is open to the public.
