I understand. Skiing was a great passion of mine and I still keep ties
with it now at age 78. I was in the ski industry for about 30 years. In
addition to the pure joy I got from skiing, without that connection I
couldn't have afforded to be in new gear or for my family to ski as much as
they did. For much of that period I would have easily chosen Skiing over
ham radio if I had been forced to choose.
