[GreenKeys] models 15 and 19 and weathersurf

[weather]

Wayne- weathersurf in GA STILL has that 15 (and other stuff, thanks to you) and ENJOYS it all very much!   MERRY CHRISTMAS to you Wayne and ALL of you on this forum/reflector.  RTTY is still alive in my mind and heart and there are days that I just go and sit with my machines and feed a little tape to them to let them type.  Still have not got set up with ITTY but maybe in 2010?

I'm not close to being ready to give up my hobby treasures.  I know that day will come, but not so far.  Also on tap for 2010, I still have a 19 I've acquired that I want to get fully working and restored.  Thanks to those of you who have offered your knowledge and guidance.  I've still got a substancial learning curve to overcome.

Again, I wish you all good health and a zest for all the good things life has to offer.
