Kim,
Go ahead and ask ARRL what to do about it. Sure looks like it is their mistake.

Yet, when I looked up the call on the web, I saw pictures of the card and I remember it because it had cartoon Monk seals on it. Mine is a light blue color, but the guy had different colors. He was apparently pretty active from there in the mid- to late 80's and early 90's. I traced him down and he became a SK in 2002.
