We're slightly ahead on this one, Dick. Staff is already talking to Ward about doing precisely that.
 
His piece is almost long enough as it is but he will try to flesh it out slightly.

The only alteration I would make to Kay's comment is to change her
subject line to read: "Excellent Words".  I particularly like his
last paragraph as it illustrates exactly what he is talking about
from his own "newbie" days in Amateur Radio.

As for giving his commentary wider coverage, I strongly suggest that it
be expanded into "It Seems To Us" column in QST.  I would hope it would
cause many of our old cranks to reassess their view of ham radio.  BTW,
the term "old cranks" is not limited to those over a half century old.
