[NJARC] A Blast from the past...

[John Dilks K2TQN]

I have to get into this.....

Aaron and I had very similar early experiences, it's uncanny, but I 
had one additional, even more memorable: Marilyn Monroe.

My dad picked up that famous picture of her on the red sheet and put 
it up on the wall in his workshop, under his regular calendar.  It 
was near his radio work bench.  Somehow I discovered it and mom found 
out.  Boy did he get into trouble!
