[Elecraft] OT: High school drafting class, ~1975

[Edward R Cole]

Wayne,

Thanks for sharing the memories.

I had been drawing things since a child, won a contest with a local 
radio show for my crayon drawings at age five.  By the time I was in 
college I was already good at that.  I got 1/2 point off one of my 
drawings in drafting class, otherwise got 100% (found out latter, I 
was top in drafting for my engineering class).

But I went into Electrical Engineering as a profession (where drawing 
skills helped with diagrams).

Many years later I married the chief drafts-person for ORECK 
Engineering.  She was doing 3-D models on a computer which provided 
files for their modeling machine to create scale models of 
prospective products from plastic.  She had been an artist in HS and 
chose drafting as her profession (instead of starving artist).  She 
handled the entire blueprint library, keeping eng. change records for 
the company.  Great organizational skills.  Those of you who 
subscribe to Dubus Magazine in NA know her for managing subscriptions 
(Janet Cole).
