Very VERY kewl! Thanks for sharing it.

Interesting story and obviously a very bright kid! Homeschooled, too.
The story documents other young hams, including the Philly area's W3OVV,
who earned her Class B at the Philly FCC office soon after her 10th birthday -
in 1948. This was back in the days when *all* US ham licenses required 13 wpm
code, sending and receiving, and when the writtens were not only "secret" but
also consisted in large part of essay and draw-a-diagram questions.

One interesting side note is that these young hams are almost all girls!
