Lost a friend a few years back here also. Cliff was WA2GHL(Pomona NY) in his picture album, he also shows WN2GHL(Pomona NY), from 1976-77, etc... I knew him as Cliff, N5CSJ Oklahoma. He was 99% CW with some SSB, He tried very hard to get me into SSB, saying to me, if he did'nt get me into SSB I would just stay in tube AM forever...Well... I do have "some" SSB now...He was from NY and I have his picture albums of field days etc. He told me about sitting in restaurants with friends talking only in conversations all in DIT-DAH's,  no words only CW conversations, he said they got some strange looks from other people... funny.
