I never knew that his first name was Russel. We knew him as Lyle (Lilly). He lived just up the hill from us in a big old two story house, that was later remodeled into a very modern house by Jack Chace. He was into radio building (crystal sets) and then later into building a receiver and a sending set. He recieved his amateur license and I really enjoyed watching him reach others around the world with this set. He had to build a pretty tall antenna to reach others on those amateur radio bands. I never heard of him after he went into service and to think that he landed just 60 miles north of Alturas. We are geting older.
