OT: Happy 60th Anniversary Novice License

Edward R Cole
Thanks for the announcement.  I didn't know when the Novice Class was
created.  I took mine in summer of 1958 (KN8MWA arrived Nov. 11,
1958), so I will have to wait a few more years for my 60th.  My exam
was taken before a General Class ham (My ham instructor-mentor) who's
full name and call I have forgotten.  His first name was Chuck and
was a school teacher at a nearby town.

Originally,  was supposed to take Oboe lessons from him, but then I
discovered he was a ham (and had a evening class for ham radio).  I
ended up buying his DX-35 to use with my Knight Ocean Hopper (3-tube
regen rcvr) on 40m.  A couple years later my dad bought a HQ-100 for
me.  Never learned to play the oboe, but did learn CW.
