Sue, I am so glad I was not the only one with the sliderule AND morse code. I had an uncle who always wanted me to be a ham, but I spent too much time taking all the electronic gear apart to see how it worked, until I would kill it! I took apart at least three code practice sets! Sorry to hear you lost your brother, especially in such a senseless way, but, as they say "we'll all be together one day" Meanwhile we "Never give up", I think it's Sonia who says that......BTW I used to have TWO sliderules, one was a good one, that I treated like a valuable friend, the other was a cracked piece of junk I found, I used to pretend it was good, and bang the corner on the desk to "align" it, which would drive the serious students CRAZY! (The only time I became serious in school was at grade time, I'd seriously run home to meet the postman, so my parents would not see my grades!) Ken B
