[GreenKeys] Calendar Reprint

[John, W9DDD]

AMEN!

I was close to being ready to copy the calendar.  Started working on 
restoration back in October.  Thanks to the help and advise of many on 
this list I'm getting close.  Got back into it for the very reasons Tom 
listed.

Ya'all have a Merry Christmas!
