But then, you may have taken the exam before I did. Fortunately,
licenses in those days did not have age information on them. Had a job with
a radio station when I was underage - the owner, also a Scot, knew not to
ask and I knew not to tell. . . .

My mother had to drive me to my first day on the job as a broadcast
engineer -- I wasn't old enough to get a driver's license or, in the
state I was in, even a learner's permit. (I did know how to drive,
though, having gotten a learner's permit in Alaska at 14. Drove quite a
bit of the way down the Alaska highway, too, unpaved at the time.) I'd
been turned down for a job as a golf caddie because I wasn't old enough.
That was 1961.

The owner of that first station I worked for became a fugitive from a
felony conviction in about 1964. Don't think they ever caught him.
