I remember that contest. In fact, my wife Jacki will never 
let me forget it. She went into labor with our second son on 
the night before the contest, (appropriately, Halloween). I 
drove her to the hospital, dropped our two year old son off 
with a friend, and drove back to the hospital, just in time 
to be in the general vicinity for the birth.

Then, I went home and operated SS, using off times to go 
visit Jacki and the newborn in the hospital. The 
two-year-old remained at the friend's house for the weekend. 
On Monday (conveniently), Jacki and the newborn were 
released from the hospital, I picked up the two-year-old, 
and we were all reunited. Jacki didn't fully understand what 
was going on at the time, but she put 2+2 together later, 
and there has been a lot of payback over the years for my 
behavior in the 1973 SS CW.
