But the 20 or so Scouts who showed up at Nestleton Hall had to be content with conver- sations with New York, Pennsylvania and Beaverton, among other places. "We're trying more or less to get the boys involved," explained Glen Goslin, an amateur radio operator from Blackstock. "It's just a bit of fun for them."
