Today millions, if not close to a billion, or more, children accessed
the internet. They accessed data in a range too large to describe--they
instant messaged and chatted with children on every continent of the
globe... literally without barriers...

.... the amount of knowledge entering young minds is staggering to the
consciousness ... and this is progress at its' finest... radio pales
in what it has done to offer such opportunities and advantages and feels
it has no obligations or responsibilities to move in such productive
directions--or, at least the "high priests" in control at this time
do...

Warmest regards,
John

Well, my 7 yr. old lass made five QSO's today during Kid's Day, two of
them were CW contacts. So QSL cards go out today for the "young'un"
who managed to practice enough over the past few weeks to pound out my
call, her name, favorite color, age, QTH and wrap it up with a
not-too-shabby 73. (I helped w/her copy tho.)

I couldn't have asked for a better Father's Day gift.
