I remember in the mid 60's there was a telegraph office in my town. A man would ride a bike to deliver the telegrams wearing a black cap.

Player #148405, I think everyone ought to learn it because there will be a day, after a huge, earth shattering event that will be the only method on long distance communication. Back in the day, you needed to know it to get an FCC license.

In one of the Transformer movies, they had to rely on Morse code after the Decepticons destroyed their other communication channels. So what, I know, right.

He spent some time living in Cherry Valley, NY. That is 13 miles from Cooperstown. I felt more at home in that country than anywhere else on earth.

My Great grandfather was a Gerry-morse tapper in the first world war, he was hung as a German Spy in September 1918. Well at least he didn't die in a Trench.
