Bob Whitney at Dad's Ham Radio Desk -
Couldn't Help Thinking of Dad and the quote below; I am sure he would have been happy to see this!
 

Last January, Bob Whitney read Dad's Autobiography on the web. He (Bob) then wrote the following to me:

"One paragraph in you father's memoir is very interesting to me. Speaking of
my father, Donald W. Whitney, your Dad writes:
 

"Donald had three sons: Bobby, John, and Bruce. We saw them fairly
often, and I remember as I grew older being concerned when they would
all descend on our house. I was very protective of my possessions , and
they represented a threat to their integrity."

Bob then wrote this to me about Dad's comments:

Your Dad had good reason to be protective - and I (the oldest Newton cousin)
was his real problem. It must have been bad enough to have three younger
roughneck cousins - competitive and raucous - descend upon your private space
on a Sunday afternoon. But to have one of them pathologically envious of some
of your possessions - well - I think your Dad's words are generous. When your
father got his RF Modulator and began broadcasting to the neighbors, I
pestered my father constantly to take me over to play with cousin Donald.

Peg Greets Bob!
