[CW] Clueless UPDATE ( as in not a clue )

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr. via CW]

I have his 1967 KH6IJ Hawaii license plate which he gave me when he was
teaching at Harvard in Cambridge, MA.  In 1982 I visited him at the
Honolulu Radio Club Shoney's breakfest.  His wife was with him and I told
them sea stories about my ship mv Rover bound for Singapore.  Nose was a
former Radio Officer in US Merchant Marine.
