I wanted to be a ham when I was a kid, too. My social studies teacher in 8th grade, Mr. McCabe, K7IKC, lived right across the street from the school, and I used to go to his house in the evening and watch him make contacts all over the world. Pretty exciting stuff.
I still have my 1964 ARRL handbook- complete with the book cover I made for it from a grocery bag.

I took it to Coburn's Appliance- not only did they not do it, they lost the manual that had the procedure! I didn't get around to getting another manual at the time, and the company went bust later.
I probated Mr. Coburn's estate a couple years ago- didn't mention to his daughter that I was still steamed at Murray for losing my book. . .
