So do I... and I don't like to remember just how long ago I received 
it  hi. Actually, I received mine in person, from W6LRY himself. My 
elmer, W6GGV, loved the higher bands (10m and up) and used to spend 
many hours on 10 SSB in the evenings back in the early-70s while I 
worked on some project on his workbench. He received 10-10 #7041; 
I'll never forget that number, because when I drove out to W6LRY's 
place to obtain my own number, I handled him my list of ten QSOs and 
my application, he sat down and went through the list, then filled 
out his paperwork... and issued me #7641, exactly 600 numbers higher 
than my elmer's! That's just about the only "coincidence" I can 
remember of my life... 8-)  OHH... another "coincidence", also as a 
result of the 10-10 club...  That year I got my number, Jan. 30 1973, 
it just so happened that one of my other elmers, WB6LWW, Ed  Kitchen, 
was president of the 10-10 club. Ed lived maybe half a mile from me, 
and when I was a novice, I used to come over to his garage shack just 
to watch him fire up his 522 and work a bunch of guys on 2m AM. He'd 
hit the button and click..whhiiirrrr...clankity-clank-whirrr and the 
motors would quit tuning the transmitter. Ed used to take me to the 
Gardena ARC meetings just after I obtained my novice license. He was 
some sort of electronic technician for the school district, IIRC, and 
I'd see him every now and then while I attended Malaga Cove 
Intermediate School (before I even got my novice, when I'd ride my 
bike around the whole PV Peninsula looking for ham antennas), and 
later at Rolling Hills High. I lost touch with him sometime in the late '70s.
