The LCF Group provides
management services for several professional entities. Meet the owners--
David Larsen KK4WW became interested in electronics
as a boy and was licensed as an Amateur Radio Operator in 1953. After graduating
from high school in 1957, he served in Uncle Sam’s Navy for 2 years as an
electronic technician, and went to Oregon State University for a degree in
Business and Technology (Electronics). He spent some years in the electronic
industry as an engineer, and the next 31 as a university teacher in electronic
instrumentation at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA (retired 1998). For ten years
at VT, David assisted the Office of International Development and received the
Faculty Service Award in 1995 for “outstanding service in the outreach
mission”. For many of those years, he was associated with land and farming with
the start-up of a Christmas tree farm and marketing organization, which
developed into a serious operation with hundreds of acres of Christmas trees and
was a good sale for Larsen in 1993.
In 1992, David and his wife Gaynell KK4WW founded the
non-profit foundation, Foundation for Amateur International Radio Service
(FAIRS) to work with groups in less fortunate countries to develop emergency
radio communications systems and provide medical and equipment assistance. David
and Gaynell direct the activities of the foundation from U.S. headquarters in
Floyd, VA.
Dee Dannewitz KG4VMI came to Virginia from a southeastern Nebraska
farming community. She spent her early years being mentored in business, and
obtained sponsorship for much traveling in education, for 4-H, and mission trips
with the church & others. She received great education at LIFE Bible College
and Virginia Tech, and has background in finance, accounting, sales and
management. She has always enjoyed spending time outdoors and working with
various community groups. After college, Dee moved to Floyd with her son,
Christian, to get back to “farm living” and for a closer association with David
and Gaynell and LCF Group activities.
