Broke his neck erecting aerial

No, not me thank goodness. I enjoy looking at the 100 year old photo archive and today searched for "ham radio" and stumbled upon this excellent photo and thread of info.

It seems that poor Lester Picker fell 55 feet while erecting an aerial for the radio shown at his bedside. Poor chap.
