You should see pictures of the non-contester events.

I think basing age demographics of hams on photos from the drunken 
hospitality suites at Dayton is a bit skewed.  Now I'll freely admit 
that I hit the Visalia hospitality suites in high school pretty hard, 
but even in 1990, I was very much the exception as opposed to the rule.
