A friend of mine sent me a similar deck in college. Good times.

Cheers,

E.

    July 1971 my father gave me a deck in a 3/4-filled box and told me to
    print the deck the next time I had a chance.

    Teacher is standing at the printer while I'm at the IBM 1130 console
    after writing and invoking a short FORTRAN program to read a card and
    print a line and repeat.

    Teacher asks "Where did you get this deck, Ken?"

    It was my first example of the character print naked lady. I didn't
    know they even existed.
