K1VR:  That was Tom and Jerry, by Herb Brier W9EGQ. His stories of their
exploits appeared in both Boys Life and Popular Electronics. I do not
remember a book, tho.

K1VR: Three books have been written by a woman who is Cynthia
WA7-something. They are sold by Ham Radio Bookstore and the ARRL. Also
good. My daughter enjoyed one of those, but it didn't stick. Oh well.

Nonetheless, I was FASCINATED by the adventures of Tom and Jerry. Stories
of their teenagerhood should be timeless.
