W9BB 1936 - 1944 Crete, Nebraska

Doane College
Operators: Dr. E. Russell Wightman W9BB
Rus Wightman W9FZI
Lyle Quinn W9QD, W9TDQ, W0US
William Leavitt W9YFD, W3MFJ, W3AZ

Dr. Wightman ran the station at Doane and helped Bill W3AZ get his first license.
Lyle Quinn was a ham friend of my father's their entire lives.
The note with the card sounds like he sent several but I've only found one. 
And the card's printer made a common misspelling on our family name, dropping the "a" from Leavitt, LOL!
