Curtis,
I applied for a vanity call a few months ago, also with reluctance since I
have had my call, W A 9 Y B W for 44 years.
It takes about 3 weeks to get the new call. While I was waiting, a few days
after applying for the vanity I had second thoughts and cancelled the
request. I guess I am too nostalgic.
