[GreenKeys] Survey....Addendum

[Larry Goodrich]

Hello some more,

Because of  my wife and a couple of emails I'll add a bit of 
information, if anyone cares!

I took and passed my 3rd 'phone commercial license test in about 1955, 
and sat on it until about 1963 and took and passed the 2nd 'phone.  I 
took the 1st 'phone but didn't pass it at the same time.  The examiner 
suggested that I take the first phone and see what happened.  I had not 
studied for it, but I only missed one question.....the one on AM 
broadcast station phasing of antennas.  Now much to the dismay of a 
couple of friendly BC engineers we all have the yellow
GROL licenses.

My earlier comment on the draft about having too many kids and not 
enough fingers was this:  Joyce and I had three kids, one later went in 
the Air Force.  The draft board I reported to was not drafting anyone 
with kids.  This was about the time of the Cuba problem.

The first couple of weeks after high school, I workedin a machine shop. 
  There was no OSHA in those days, 1955.  I got just one half of my 
right index finger forcefully (!) removed in a punch press accident.  No 
guards, either.  I still count by halves....one - one and a half - two - 
two and a half.  And so it goes.  I was able to hold the model 15 up 
against the stops at 60WPM anyway.  I had the nickname "Stubby" on my 
business cards for some time, but finally removed it.

That explains the two comments in my earlier email.

I think that fills in most of the blanks or questions that I've been 
asked.  Thanx for your interest.
