Poor NURSIE...never "peaked the grid and dipped the plate" like in
the old days.
Not true, but go right ahead and think it if it makes you feel better.
NURSIE is big CAP air ace, a Dr. Strangelove at hospital ER, both
vital attributes in amateur radio.
Speaking of which, Lennie...Hope you have a sense of humor about your next
trip to the ER...Ask yourself if any of those folks in scrubs knows me...Or
better yet, have been warned about you, as they put that IV in and start to
hang bags of fluid and push drugs...
Wow! Isn't NURSIE in a dark, dark mood this year.
Last time before last I was in an ER was in Wisconsin, near
Fontana, accompanying my wife in 2000. Maybe it was my
imagination, but I seem to remember a shrine next to the lobby,
featuring a 5' x 8' color photo of a scowling fiftysomething wearing
a flight suit. No name below it other than (in gold letters) the
phrase "We Will Never Forget..." about a foot high.
The folks wearing scrubs couldn't remember "The Unknown
Nurse," hero of medicine and savior of amateur radio.
How quickly they forget...
The last time I was in an ER was at St. Joseph's in Burbank, my
mother moved from the nursing home with a life-threatening blood
clot. That was in early 2001 and she died four days later.
Now, in the press of things then, I didn't ask around either ER or
on the "terminal floor" to find out if anyone knew of you, in scrubs
or in uniform. I did call down just now to ask (it's a local call) if
anyone "knew of you."
Apparently no one did. [response over the phone was (edited)
"what the #$%^!!! are you talking about?!?!?"]
Fame is fleeting.
Toss it in the Sharps on your way out the door...
Remeber... that's the last thing Timothy McVeigh saw....
"Remeber" to turn on your spell-checker before hitting "Return."
You seem to forget doing that way too much. Tsk.
Now keep stirring that mix with ammonium nitrate and keep working
that rare DX on HF with CW...folks will "remeber you" lots... :-)
