[Hallicrafters] CW training?

[Al Parker]

Hi Skip,
	I'm a bit younger, but got started at age 15.  Didn't like CW much back 
then (in the 50's) but kept with it after I moved from Novice.  At one 
time was up to 25+ wpm.  Lost it 15+ yrs ago, but then 6-8 yrs ago 
decided, since I was down around 10wpm maybe, that I needed to do 
something about it.
	I got on 40m CW every morning for abt 2 mo.s.  Had lots of nice 
ragchews at 7-12 wpm, and started working up naturally.  Got back up 
around 20 wpm in an enjoyable fashion.   There's always guys willing to 
go at whatever speed you can handle.
73,

I was wondering for those older CWers, how many of you got your training in the service.  Just wondering.  I guess I just need to practice more often - that's what I'm told.
