Frances has been an amateur radio operator since April 16th, 2002, and has been a very active volunteer for the MS150 bike rides having worked many Bike to he Beach events and the inaugural Ride to the River.  Frances is the mother of Barbara Rabenaldt, N5RZH, another very active San Antonio amateur radio operator. 

Frances was a member of the SARO ham club.

On a personal note when organizing local MS150 rides I have counted on having Frances and Barbara working a breakpoint.  Frances will be missed, and I am sure I speak for the local ham community when I tell Barbara that she is in our thoughts and prayers.

Milton Johnson, N5HMJ
