[TowerTalk] UP The Tower

         Not sure if I should be posting this, but I felt it deserves 
it.   I just finished

         the book Up the Tower.  Wow what a wealth of information.  I put my

         first tower up Nov 1979.  Four towers later and odd jobs on a 
couple

         others, make me say I really enjoy it.   Thing is I certainly 
wish I had this

         book way back in the beginning.  I always worked alone or with a

         relative/neighbor  so had to learn on my own.  After almost 40 
years

         I still enjoy it and today I will again be on one of my towers 
for a simple job.

         Even after 40 years I discovered some real flaws in the usual 
way I did

         certain things.  By the way I am 71 and still in good enough 
shape to climb.

        Tho I can only spend about 3 hours at a time on tower now.  I 
hope I have

         several  more years left to enjoy this.

                 What else can I say this  book needs to be read by 
anyone thinking

         of putting up a tower.
