Well, I didn't graduate from the Novice class until 2004.  My Novice license expired when I was in college ('67) and my interests were primarily physics & math & girls in various priority order -- no room for ham radio until I was an old man of, now how old was I -- 56 in 2004 at the time of license (Tech & General) passing in February.
