Neil Yakalis and Wendy Volpatti organised an event at the FM Radio Station to which Ray devoted a lot of his time. The\u00a0visit on\u00a0Friday (Friday 8th April 2016) to their tiny Gladesville radio station went really well.<\/p>\n

The 12 who visited were Ian Thomas,\u00a0Robert Askew, Ian McDonald, Neil Yakalis, Wendy Volpatti, John Eades, Laurie McIllree, Greg Martyn, Ray Dowsett, Ray Alford, Ross Beaumont & Robert Brand. There are only 11 in the group photo as Robert Brand needed to leave early. After the visit the group\u00a0had lunch at the nearby Gladesville RSL club.<\/p>\n

Ray Volpatti’s contribution to 2RRR, both from the technical to the operator side, was appreciated by all who came in contact with him. Tributes recorded to be aired are from Robert Brand, Greg Martin, Ray Alford, John Eades & Wendy Volpatti.<\/p>\n
