Ham radio operator in Buckeye Lake, OH

One more story from Buckeye Lake, OH.: I'd going into town later in the evening and met a guy at a meeting and found we had a hobby in common. Chatting, he mentioned ham radio, that he was a ham, and that on 10 meters, there was a weekly net of like minded folks. We traded callsigns and emails, and I said I'd look up the net and try to jump in one day. It's a VOIP net, so having a radio isn't even required. Russ said he was also a retired state employee. He said he never went back to work. Russ has family in the area, keeps up with local ham radio activities, and does volunteer work. But he never went back to work, formally. (Why do I keep hearing that message?)
