Thanks to all who  contacted W8TNX and inquired about Johnny Clem.  We met a guy who had a grrandfather who was in the Michigan  Army about the time JC was there.  Another fellow  - a 4 - reminded us we were on opposite sides in that particular effort.   And quite a few history buffs impressed me with their knowledge of the Civil War.    You can check out the Licking County Historical Society for more info on General Clem....or Sargeant Clem the 14 yr old.

Thanks to all.   Self- printing certificates will be available  in a few days.  Just need your  QSO number on the  website referenced on QRZ.com.

Hope you enjoy it.

See you next year!
