[K6NCG] Anyone have info ? (Club members of 1963)

[Dave Sublette]

It is interesting to note that you have hit close, but not on, the date 
you are looking for.  I graduated from ET 'A'School on May 3, 1963. I 
entered in July of 1962.  This means that I missed both field days.  I 
remember Whit Cotten, W4CXQ, Frank Mizell, K4DGU (SK),  Tom Dailey,  
Jim, K5LFY, Jack.K4...(missing memory cells)...  Some of the field day 
stories that were told were a hoot. I'm sorry I missed them both.

73,

Dave Sublette K4TO (then K9IHG)
