About the Story Lost In Seattle is a very special volume. The story was created by the kids in the 4th grade at Ben Franklin elementary school in Kirkland, WA and the Lake Washington HAM Club, KC7OIO, who also meet at the same school. Mr. Dave Condon KI7YP, an elementary teacher and mentor for the Lake Washington HAM Club, had his 4th grade class create this wonderful tale about using amateur radio to help find a lost friend. The students enthusiastically tackled the writing by organizing themselves into groups with a project manager and editor. They had the 5th and 6th grade members of the Lake Washington HAM Club KC7OIO proof the text. The photos on the right give a snap shot look into how the students put together the story. From left to right, top to bottom: • a. the project manager • b. the editor • c. & d. the writing group, who would go over the many versions and keep the story boards up to date • e. science and research • f. & h. the art group who helped us with ideas for how the comic book should look • g. the transcription group • i. & j. pictures of Katrina and Josh, HAM Club members who assisted in the story and lent their names and call signs. We also want to thank Anna Veltkamp, a member of Mr. Condon’s class, for the poem she contributed at the end of the story about Max the pig. At Icom America, we had fun producing a truly remarkable story. We want to thank Mr. Condon, his 4th grade class, and the Lake Washington HAM Club for a job well done! The comic book was once again beautifully illustrated by Kayoko Nakajima, a professional cartoonist living in the Seattle area.
