Being proficient in Morse Code in 1965 an Amateur does not make Thee. Many a Boy Scout had some Morse proficiency and never became an Amateur. Your License says you are a Basic with a Morse endorsement. If you had been Licensed prior to 1991 when all the Basics were Grandfathered to Advanced you would be an Advanced. Alluding to greater qualifications than actually one possess does not confer them upon that person. Being a former Ham Instructor is fine. If you had said that you were or are a VE then there would be a requirement of holding an Advanced License.
The story of your amateur activities continues and makes for an interesting read. As long as the reader is insightful and sharp the extraneous information may be excluded and then the story line becomes very thin. Don't they say that there is always a thin person hiding inside?
