My dad was a radio operator and I have his lapels with the Sparks Symbol on them.
We had a short wave setup at home when I was little. He also taught Morse Code to both my older bro and myself.
My dad and his brothers....drinking....how about missing a curve in Canada...driving the car into the Lake and winding up in a Canadian jail.
Ha! That would be hard to top.
My uncle's ex was SO vindictive that she made friends with the wife of the guy who headed the draft board...
When my uncle came home from the Merchant Marines... she had his a%$ drafted into the regular army and he spent another couple years at Ft. Knox, AFTER WWII.
