[TowerTalk] Nostalgia continued, July 1952 QST: Looking back, plus some conclusions

[Richard M. Gillingham]

I had many of Gil's art work in my QST callection.  I also got the
publication ARRL put out a few years ago with much of his stuff in it.  He
had the touch.  And I remember John Troster's tongue-in-cheek articles too.
W6ISQ??  I think.  I miss those too.  Just think, the youngsters of today
have these'good ol' days' we're experiencing right now to remember fondly.

Later all, Gotta go re-read my Gil cartoon book..

Gil (No relation) W1RG
