Walt .. I may be wrong and it was '55. Don't think so though. I got it
not long in months after it was first introduced. While on vacation in Erie, Pennsylvania, from our home in Texas that summer, Dad took me to Buffalo, New York to take the exam. I was told that at that time I was the youngest kid to pass it at 15, but lots of others younger have since passed it. As the years go forward, the mind confuses the body .. and the body confuses the mind. In all the confusion I can vouch for the fact that all I've ever grown to be in many ways has derived totally from ham radio. The organization of the sport, the competitiveness, the technical springboard that it offers - and the log and record keeping fences and proofing it demands are worth a great deal in helping learn a lot about life. I'm very thankful for everything, all the doors it has opened, and the many people who have helped me along the way - W5GDK, the original W5VO, and W4AUT who were all mentors and took special time to help me.
