More Odds & Ends Trivia (part II)

Bill K4KBL helped start me off in this crazy
hobby in 1958. He is shown
in the picture below along with my brother Bob and sitting at my station
mike is a very young K4JAD. (who Doug says looks sorta like Dick York on
the series Bewitched....)
John was from Thomasville, GA and active on
75 with us.
Here he attempts to fine tune my HT37 with an 8" adjustable
wrench. Hmmmm..

The first AARA met at times in the basement
of the municipal building. We also did Field Day. Picture (A) is at a Field
Day with Brian Tye (WA4RDO's son), Wendell WA4LHH at the mike, and Charlie
WD4EIK logging
Picture (B) is in the club's communication room in the basement with WA4RDO Bill, Dianna KA4???? gazing at a young WB4EBB(W4VIR)-Lani.
Picture (C) is in the same location I believe right after a Skywarn Class. Left to right: WA4RDO-Bill, KA4?-Dianna, WB4EBB(W4VIR)-Lani ,K4VBH-Jim, WD4BID-Richard, & W4UFD-Prof

Did ya know hams had a postage stamp made commemorating Amateur Radio??? I can't remember the year, maybe some of you stamp collectors can. You can tell it was a "while ago" by the value of the stamp used to mail a letter. If I wait a bit, it'll take all of these I've saved to mail 1 letter!
