September 3, 2008: Jim Zastrow and his wife Mary
from Mosinee, WI, visited for a day at Gilbert Lodge. They were
childhood sweethearts since the 9th grade. Jim officially retired at the
age of 65 in 2006, but is leading a very active lifestyle including helping out
some of his radio broadcast station clients on occasion.
Mary was, and still is, a licensed Ham Radio Operator with the call W9NMC. She was licensed even before Jim, who is AB9BW. The couple is shown here just inside the front entrance to Gilbert Lodge and next to the Radio Daze painting by Jim Daly. |

The automatic backup power generator at Gilbert Lodge worked flawlessly filling the void with only 10 seconds of time required to start and come online. |
