[CW] What a pleasure!

SOME HAD MILLS OTHERS HAD A PENCIL AND PAPER.  I CAN TYPE CW NOW BUT BACK
THEN I COULD HARDLY TYPE AT ALL.  THAT IS HOW IT WAS DONE WHEN I STARTED IN
1966. IT WAS A JOB BUT FUN.   IT WAS A BIG HONOR TO BE ALLOWED TO REP YOUR
REGION NET ON CAN.  NOW NO ONE WANTS TO.  THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED.  WE JUST
LOST OUR ONLY CW REP TO ARKANSAS AND MAINSTAY OF RN5/CAN.
