[RTTY] Question for old timers

[Dave Cole]

Here is a cut from his QRZ page...

"I was born and grew up in central Iowa. I graduated from Iowa State 
Univ and The Univ of Iowa.  I was a U.S. Navy officer in the Vietnam war 
1967-70. "

and even more telling...

"I got my novice license, KN0RJV, in 1958 at age 15."

73s and thanks,
Dave
