Dunno if twas so in your day, but you can do a search online now: http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp Searching on Jack's call sign revealed his true name and address. Gotcha! You should be proud of that license! Nowadays with reduced qualifications you can get a Technician License if you know a resistor from an inductor. Me, I am a ZA, qualified to talk freely with Jack's former Girl Scouts over a pussy-to-talkie.

Okay, you're teaching code. The memory card proves how cool Morse was. there were wooden circuit boards laying around in the attic. he was really into magnetisim. BUT then along the middle divider were paintings leaning against each other, row after row. Have you ever sat in an administrator's office with a Morse oil on the wall... lol.....
Get out a three by five card. draw a line down the middle. Then draw five horizontal lines. At to top: Put a dot on the left half Put a dash on the right half On the first row jot E then on the right jot T A couple of rows down put S on the very left and O to the very right. Divide this row into six cells. See if you know where to put R. Put I below E and above S on the very left. Add three cells to the row. Put A to the right of I and still on the left half. Etc. Morse ws a cool cat. He got the letter distribution before he assigned the code. Most used letters are the shortest code elements. As Paul Harvey would tell you: "And now you know the rest of the story". My son owns one of the homes he lived in. It is in Cherry Valley, New York.
