This discussion reminds me of my grandfather urging me at about 8 years old to learn Morse code in order to begin the licensing process. I wish I would have had to focus back then to have stuck with it. I remember my grandfather speaking of his brother (great uncle) who was disabled thereby keeping him from serving in WWII, but he was able with his ham radio to allow folks to come from miles around and have contact with those stationed overseas. I can't remember his call numbers/letters, but he was quite well known over the waves.
