They specialize in this...<br /><br />My WV "connection" is with then NAQCC group. I'm sure the FISTS group has several from WV. But I'm still looking forward to those new awards. <br /><br />I've worked nearly 400 stations now and look forward to spending many more hours on the radio. <br /><br />Thanks for the encouraging words!Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-61471517684630180402009-07-04T16:37:30.435-07:002009-07-04T16:37:30.435-07:00FM my good friend in NY...
John,
I am so happ...FM my good friend in NY...<br /><br />John, <br /> <br />I am so happy to see you getting recognition for all you do with this organization... and having fun is a wonderful byproduct. <br /> <br />You know, the thought has occured to me as I am reading this... wouldn't this make a wonderful hobby for a man who as been disabled in some fashion?<br />And this guy could be a veteran.... or he could just be someone from the next county who has multiple Sclerosis, or some such disabling disease.<br /> <br />I have a friend who works at Yale, and her son has MS, and is becoming increasingly disabled..... in a wheelchair, etc....and I look at types like Steve and think how a desk-based occupation is ideal for these guys. Sometimes they have gone beyond paid labor, so it becomes a volunteer/hobby sort of thing. But this stuff sounds like it would be so interesting to a man. Does your organization interact with Veteran's groups?<br /> <br />Happy for you to be the first in West Va to be honored for this... all people should have such productive and happy retirement !!<br /> <br />CorinneJspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.com
