Jim,
My congrats. to Earlene.  No small accomplishment.  i busted my butt 
to get my Extra before my wife did and I won by a few weeks!  It took 
me over twenty-five years from General to Extra, it took her twenty 
months from Novice to Extra.  If she'd got there first, I'd never 
have lived it down!!
She's gotten really in to computing and almost never uses her ham 
privileges, but the class and hobby are always there when she wants them.
Again, congrats.
