[TowerTalk] Info wanted

[Ward Silver]

Cynthia Wall wrote a whole series of Ham Radio books and the Tommy
Tompkins books were also quite popular a while back.  I think those were
put back into print recently and may be available through the Ham Radio
Bookstore.

Both are a good read for the 8-12 year old set.
