Most F requently A sked
Q uestion
OF
THE "22 CREW" |
|
IS:
WHERE ARE THEY NOW? |
|
WE GET LOTS OF QUESTIONS BUT ONE OF
THE MOST OFTEN ASKED IS..."DO YOU FOLLOW UP ON YOUR STUDENTS?" AND
WITHOUT A DOUBT THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING Y E
S!!!
BACK IN 1985 GIVE OR TAKE WE HAD A
STAR STUDENT NAMED ROBERT...NOT ONLY WAS HE A CREWSTAR BUT HE GOT HIS HAM
TICKET-KB2DGI-AND MADE LOTS OF FRIENDS ON 7.238 & 21.395 IN FACT ONE
OF THOSE FRIENDS...STEVE-N0SR, WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING ROBERT
TO NASA SPACE CAMP-THE HUNTSVILLE HAMFEST AND A MONTH IN ALABAMA
LIVING WITH THE "SR" FAMILY...
BACK IN 1985 WE TOOK ROBERT TO
LAGUARDIA AND SENT HIM PACKING TO HUNTSVILLE:
 TYPICAL SMART- _ _ _ WISEGUY 13
YEAR OLD....JUST A BRIEF ASIDE..HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED....WE WERE NOT
GOING WITH HIM BUT BACK IN 1985 YOU COULD WALK RIGHT OUT ON THE TARMAC
WITH YOUR PALS AT THE AIRPORT AND SAY GOOD BYE AND TAKE PICTURES..TRY THAT
TODAY.....SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET OUT IN ABOUT 3 YEARS!
ANYWAY BACK TO THE ORIGINAL
QUESTION...YES WE KEEP IN TOUCH WITH OUR OLD STUDENTS...IN FACT WE HELP
THEM DRESS FOR SUCCESS...HERE IS THAT SAME SMART-_ _ _ KID TODAY ALL
GROWED UP:
 |
ONLY ABOUT 23 YEARS
LATER....
WHEN ROBERT GRADUATED
FROM "22" HIS COUSIN STEVEN FOLLOWED IN "THE KINGS" FOOTSTEPS...STEVEN, BECAME
KNOWN AS THE "EARLY BIRD" AS SOME DAYS HE BEAT ME TO CLASS AT 7AM, DID 3
YEARS IN EDUCOM BECOMING A HAM -KB2KUC- AND WITH ALL HE LEARNED AT "22" HE NOW
SENDS PEOPLE TO RIKERS RATHER THAN BEING THERE HIMSELF, YOU HAVE SEEN HIM HERE
IN SLICES IN UNIFORM .. BUT EVEN NY'S FINAST NEED TO
TAKE A BREAK AND HE DID...JUST LAST WEEK STEVEN WENT TO PUERTO RICO TO VISIT
COUSIN ROBERT AND IT SURE IS GOOD TO SEE THE BOYS IN THE RIGHT
CLOTHES:
BUT SOMETIMES EVEN THE
MOST "FIT" TOURIST HAS TO TAKE A REST:
SO A LOUD AND CLEAR YES TO OUR MOST
"FAQ" WE SURE DO FOLLOW UP.......!
THE RETURN OF
0 0 7
LAST YEAR W4/G8ERJ-WHO
SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE BOND, JAMES BOND- WROTE A REALLY GOOD SHORT STORY
ABOUT AN SM8 MICROPHONE THAT LED HIM TO FINDING AND MEETING AND MARRYING A
WONDERFUL LADY...WELL PETER IS BACK AGAIN WITH YET ANOTHER INCREDIBLE AND
T R U E HAM RADIO STORY.....U CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP:
In issue Week 10 of 2007 I wrote a story “Love in the Time of
Technology”, well here is another incredible story. It happened on the 17 meter
band at 1100am EST,
I was in QSO with John E Doyle K1GUN of
Woolwich,
On the over John came right back to me and told me that he knew him very well and that he would make the initial contact for me. The very next day in my email was the details I so desperately had been wanting.
I contacted Bobby that very evening, we had not exchanged a word in 40 years and very soon all became apparent. We are now reunited and so happy to have found one another, all thanks to Amateur Radio.
Using computer technology I tried to make contact with Bobby via the internet and all its search engines to find people, but to no reward. In the end “when all else fails, amateur radio gets through”.
Peter Dudgeon (007) de
W4/G8ERJ
ANOTHER GREAT AND
TOTALLY REMARKABLE STORY FROM 007...LISTEN FOR HIM ON THE CLASSROOM NET AND SEE
IF YOU AGREE THAT HE COULD DOUBLE FOR SEAN CONNERY!
MAYOR MIKE GETS TO
"ROLL" AGAIN
ITS OFFICIAL...OUR
MAYOR GOT THE CITY COUNCIL TO CHANGE THE RULES...THE 2 TERM LIMIT LAW IS OUT AND
MIKE GETS TO "ROLL" AGAIN...
WE WISH HIM GOOD LUCK
ALTHOUGH WE DONT THINK HE WILL NEED IT....IF HE RUNS, AND HE WILL, WE PREDICT A
BLOOMBERG VICTORY...AND THATS GREAT...WE JUST HOPE THAT HE FORGETS ALL ABOUT THE
"CONGESTION PRICING" PLAN THAT YOU HAVE READ ABOUT HERE IN "APPLE
SLICES".
WHO WOULDNT WANT TO BE
MAYOR OF THIS PLACE..WHAT A GREAT JOB..ONLY SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN TEACHING
EDUCOM AT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 22..AFTER ALL YOU GET TO
GOVERN NY'RS WHO THINK LIKE THIS:
THERE
IS NO NORTH AND SOUTH. IT'S 'UPTOWN' OR 'DOWNTOWN.' IF YOU'RE
REALLY
FROM NEW YORK , YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONCEPT OF WHERE NORTH AND SOUTH
ARE...AND EAST OR WEST IS 'CROSS-TOWN.'
YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE AN EGG CREAM.
YOU RIDE IN A SUBWAY CAR WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE SEATS AVAILABLE.
YOU TAKE THE TRAIN HOME AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE ON THE PLATFORM THE DOORS WILL OPEN THAT WILL LEAVE YOU RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE EXIT STAIRWAY.
YOU KNOW WHAT A 'REGULAR' COFFEE IS.
IT'S NOT MANHATTAN ...IT'S THE 'CITY.'
YOU CROSS THE STREET ANY WHERE BUT ON THE CORNERS AND YOU YELL AT CARS FOR NOT RESPECTING YOUR RIGHT TO DO IT.
YOU MOVE 3,000 MILES AWAY, SPEND 10 YEARS LEARNING THE LOCAL LANGUAGE AND PEOPLE STILL KNOW YOU'RE FROM BROOKLYN, LONG ISLAND OR THE BRONX , THE MINUTE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH.
YOU RETURN AFTER 10 YEARS AND THE FIRST FOODS YOU WANT ARE A 'REAL' PIZZA FROM DENINOS OR JOE & PATS. AND A 'REAL' BAGEL.
A 500 SQUARE FOOT APARTMENT IS LARGE.
YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THAT ANY HUMAN BEING WOULD BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND A P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE SUBWAY.
YOU WOULDN'T BOTHER ORDERING PIZZA IN ANY OTHER CITY.
YOU GET READY TO ORDER DINNER EVERY NIGHT AND MUST CHOOSE FROM THE MAJOR FOOD GROUPS WHICH ARE: CHINESE, ITALIAN, MEXICAN OR INDIAN.
YOU'RE NOT THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED IN GOING TO TIMES SQUARE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE.
YOUR INTERNAL CLOCK IS PERMANENTLY SET TO KNOW WHEN ALTERNATE SIDE OF THE STREET PARKING REGULATIONS IS IN EFFECT.
YOU KNOW WHAT A BODEGA IS.
SOMEONE BUMPS INTO YOU AND YOU CHECK FOR YOUR WALLET.
YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE THE LADY WALKING DOWN THE STREET HAVING A PERFECTLY NORMAL CONVERSATION WITH HERSELF.
YOU PAY 'ONLY' $270 A MONTH TO PARK YOUR CAR.
YOU CRINGE AT HEARING PEOPLE PRONOUNCE HOUSTON ST. LIKE THE CITY IN TEXAS
THE PRESIDENTIAL VISIT IS A MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM, NOT AN HONOR.
YOU CAN NAP ON THE SUBWAY AND NEVER MISS YOUR STOP. (this always amazed me)
THE DELI GUY GIVES YOU A STRAW WITH ANY BEVERAGE YOU BUY, EVEN IF IT'S A BEER.
WHEN KIDS GET ON THE RADIO FROM HQ WE
ALWAYS TELL THEM...."BE A TOUR GUIDE..REMEMBER EVERYBODY YOU TALK TO HAS BEEN
HERE, WANTS TO BE HERE, OR IS PLANNING ON COMING HERE"....CAN YOU BLAME
THEM:
