[K6NCG] Working Museum Ships as K6NCG today.

Sat Jun 1 20:48:27 EDT 2019

Nice to see some activity on this list.  I started ET 'A' School at TI in
July, 1962.  I graduated in May, 1963.  I got married the next week and we
celebrated our 56th wedding anniversary on May 11.  I still keep in touch
with a few of the K6NCG guys and they are good people.  Several of us
became Electrical Engineers. My time at TI is remembered as one of the best
times of my life.  The school was just great. I have contributed several
photos on the K6NCG page.

I cherish the memories of all of it.

73,

Dave, K4TO
