[ADXA] New Member Standing info for Stan, K5VR

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

Wow Stan you're getting OLD !!!!!

OK, for you guys who don't know the rest of the story, Stan and I were 
Novices during the same time and then were active on what was the 
"Arkansas Teenage Net". We met in the afternoon on 75 meters before the 
Razorback Net. There was a pretty good group of us "teenage" guys back 
then in the very early 70's.

But back to the point, he his old.......he's one year older than me 
!!!!!  :-))) No "kid" comments needed from you REALLY OLD guys on this 
reflector!!!!  :-))
