James,
At twenty I was an American Sailor learning to fly as a radioman on a
seaplane. My one great ambition was to be a pilot and in addition I was
wooing the girl back home with letters. With that as background here goes.
I used to sit in front of my typewriter copying Morse code, look out the
window at the airfield where planes were coming & going and compose long
letters, to my beloved, in my head.
How did it work out? I won the girl, eventually got to be a pilot and
graduated first in my class in radio school. So yes, the other stories on
this thread of folks doing parallel tasks are entirely believeable.
