Hi Hank

I thought I remembered your call.
I tried some time ago to contact W2CLE, but found that the trustee was no
longer at the school and that the club was inactive.  The new building is
quite striking. It is on the Hudson at Chambers Street with beautiful views.

I learned to touch type in Jr. High, in 7th grade, I think.
At one time I could type fast enough to jam the keys on my Model 15.  I 
never could do cw so that I could call myself an operator.  25wpm or so was 
my peak when I took the test for Extra in '77.

My preemie daughter is now 26 and doing pretty well, thank you for
remembering.

73,
