   ARLX013 Former ARRL Staff Member Mary Lau, N1VH (SK)   
      
   Former ARRL Headquarters staff member Mary E. Lau, N1VH (ex-N7IAL),   
   of Newington, Connecticut, died October 15. She was 61 and had been   
   suffering from ALS. Lau worked in several League Headquarters   
   departments from 1985 until her retirement in 2005, including Field   
   and Educational Services (F&ES), where she was projects supervisor   
   and secretary of the ARRL Foundation, then a part of the FES   
   Department, assisting young Amateur Radio operators to secure   
   college scholarships and administering the prestigious Goldfarb   
   Memorial Scholarship. Lau headed the Field and Educational Services   
   support team that produced the "Leap into Amateur Radio" brochure   
   aimed at elementary schoolers. She also contributed technical   
   assistance in the preparation of the Active Club Primer. She edited   
   the "At the Foundation" column for QST while she was the Foundation   
   secretary.   
      
   "Mary loved radio, was a hard worker, creative at finding solutions,   
   would bull-dog things she believed in, was quite enthusiastic about   
   learning new things, empathetic to anyone who came to her, super   
   organized, happy to be at ARRL Headquarters, and was - overall a   
   'glass is half full' type of person," said former ARRL Field and   
   Educational Services Manager Rosalie White, K1STO.   
      
   Lau was named the 2000 Herb S. Brier, W9AD Instructor of the Year,   
   co-sponsored by ARRL and the Lake County Amateur Radio Club.   
      
   A native of Los Angeles, she also spent some time in the Pacific   
   Northwest, where she became licensed as N7IAL. She met her husband   
   Zack, W1VT, at ARRL Headquarters, and she enjoyed many fun operating   
   activities over the years.   
      
   "As a person with a rare, progressive neurological disorder, Mary   
   had compassion for all those living with disabilities and human   
   rights for all," her obituary said. "She participated in non-violent   
   direct action and advocacy efforts with many groups at the local,   
   state, and federal levels."   
      
   In addition to her husband, survivors include three sisters.   
      
   A celebration of Life Ceremony will be held Thursday, October 23, at   
   1 PM at Newington Memorial in the town center.  For more   
   information, contact Zack Lau at, zlau@arrl.org .

   If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until   
   you hire an amateur.
