Mr. Kurowski's hobby reminds me of ham radio operators who mail each other postcards to acknowledge their contacts. And it's also reminiscent of having a pen pal. I had known of service members who would exchange audio tapes with family members during long absences from home. But I didn't know there was an established hobby with its own label for its members...tapespondents.
I've never heard of "tapesponding" before, but it looks like Harry had a quite a few good years of tapesponding ahead of him after this article was published:

I wonder what ever became of all those tapes!
