That's not fair because everyone knows you are a good guy....even if you 
hang out with Les.

I wasn't either and of course there a lot out there. My best friends for 
years were hams. I moved and miss those guys a lot. They are a very

Randy, I was in a Pershing IA unit for a few years. It was a primitive
