Hey Dave:
    Ed Mau was a neighbor of mine when I lived in ATL. I lived in the
Lenox
Park area and he lived down Highland Ave (Morningside area) .. I don't
remember his call either (barely can remember my own). He, before the
War,
had one of those 1X1 - W4? calls and after the War was W4?? - I'll dig
back
thru some of those SEDXC (yellow) membership/needed/confirmed booklets
and
see if I can come up with his call. He and Breezy were big buddies. Now
I'll be telling my age if I don't shut up.. 73
