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

[eberbari]

Well, I too could not resist this thread.  I took drafting in my senior year
(1967) as did all those who identified as wanting to be an engineer.  I did
OK.  Even got hired by the city engineer and helped to redraw all of the
city standards for sidewalks, driveway approaches, etc.  However, I did go
into EE and wound up with 3 degrees. 

One of my professors was Gordon Bell (of Digital Equipment and
PDP(3,8,11)fame and he had us learn Fortran by writing code which emulated
the PDP 8 instruction set (anyone remember TAD?)

And I had a Versalog slide rule, still in my desk.

Needed to get this in before Eric shuts us down for going down memory.
