[GreenKeys] Kennedy TTY Traffic Re-creation for ITTY?

[Howard Weeks]

I was in the military and working with Post Signal at Fort Polk, La when 
that occurred. We had a couple of Mod 28s running - one on AP and the 
other on UPI. I had nearly a whole role of paper off one of them when 
the story unfolded.  I had it for many years and may still have it here 
somewhere; however, I haven't seen it in years.

I knew other military operators that had the same thing.  It is not too 
remote an idea to think there are legitimate copies out there.

But I doubt very seriously that the copies being sold on Ebay are 
legitimate.

If I could find the copy I had, I don't know of anyway to validate it 
other than my word which isn't worth anything.
