[CW] What a pleasure!

HI JOE ET AL

YOU REMINDED ME OF A STORY.  ONE TIME I WAS NOT ON A NET AND A MESSAGE FOR
ME CAME THRU.  NOT IN LOCAL CALLING RANGE ANOTHER OP TOOK THE MESSAGE AND
MAILED IT TO ME.  IT CAME IN NICELY TYPED ON THE ARRL RADIOGRAM FORM.  I
TALKED TO HIM LATER AND SAID YOU DID NOT HAVE TO RETYPE IT ON THAT FORM.
THE ANSWER WAS"  I TYPED IT AS IT CAME IN ON THAT FORM."  SOME OF THOSE
GUYS IN THE 60S ARE LEGENDS TO ME.  THERE WERE MANY MORE IN OTHER AREAS BUT
NEW FOLKS SURE MISSED OUT ON KNOWING THEM.  I ONLY HAVE MEMORY OF THOSE IN
THE 5 TH REGION BUT I KNOW THEY WERE ALL AROUND THE SYSTEM IN THOSE DAYS.

IN THOSE DAYS THOSE GUYS TREASURED MILLS THAT ONLY HAD CAPS.  NOW FOLKS
DONTLIKE IT.  I ONLY WISH I COULD MAKE THE MILL FONT WORK ON THIS EMAIL.
