Hello Ed.

Uh huh.

 EV> No, I wasn't around when the original articles were written in QST!

I wasn't around then either, but I've got the Ole Man's biography here in
my library.

 EV> Was the Uggerumph and Rettysnitch just other names for the
 EV> Wouff-Hong?

I copied some of those lines directly out of the Ole Man's biography.
They're actual quotes used by HPM.  This was 2 or 3 years ago and I don't
recall exactly how it went, but all three were different tools used by
HPM.

 EV> I've always tried to be a good LID.

Me too. It was many years ago that I went through a Wouuf-Hong ceremony
and received a certificate saying I'd passed.  I think that makes me a
lid in good standing.
