Really? Which one, the current one or the previous one?

Years ago in college had dinner with a professor who did some studies in
Jordan.

Noticed a Christmas card on the bookshelf... from the King himself. (Much
like many folks can get cards from the President, etc.)

Except this one had a personal note and was hand signed. Very cool.

Once upon a time I was a member of the same Amateur Radio club as King
Hussein. Although it didn't happen while I was there, apparently it
wasn't unknown for him to just turn up to the regular meetings when he
was in the UK and he certainly knew the club officers and longer term
mebers personally. He took the King busines seriously, and was very good
at it.
