[GreenKeys] Seattle Western Union History

[gil smith]

Hello Harvey:

I would very much enjoy reading your memories of WU.  Please do write down 
whatever you remember.  I am certain that many of the folks here on 
greenkeys feel the same way as I do.   I have a few WU machines and would 
be interested to find out more about any facet of WU.  I'm sure that Jim 
Haynes would also be very interested, as he has been amassing quite a 
collection of WU technical info.

Harvey, your greenkeys post will put you in the greenkeys archives for 
posterity, but I would also be happy to post your paper on baudot(dot)net.

thanks,

Gil Smith
