[Elecraft] OT: Happy 60th Anniversary Novice License

[Edward R. Cole]

Thanks for the announcement.  I didn't know when the Novice Class was 
created.  I took mine in summer of 1958 (KN8MWA arrived Nov. 11, 
1958), so I will have to wait a few more years for my 60th.  My exam 
was taken before a General Class ham (My ham instructor-mentor) who's 
full name and call I have forgotten.  His first name was Chuck and 
was a school teacher at a nearby town.

Originally,  was supposed to take Oboe lessons from him, but then I 
discovered he was a ham (and had a evening class for ham radio).  I 
ended up buying his DX-35 to use with my Knight Ocean Hopper (3-tube 
regen rcvr) on 40m.  A couple years later my dad bought a HQ-100 for 
me.  Never learned to play the oboe, but did learn CW.
