Neal,
This is actually my fourth retirement. I retired from the Army, Texas A&M University and I was also a President of a radio network before joing Flex. I wasn't ready the last three times but I am now. Already got my country club card good for gold, tennis, etc, and I'm also an avid gun hobbist. Keeping tabs on FlexRadio, finishing/releasing my new antenna designs, and just operating is a full time job. And then thers's the family stuff... 73 On 7/1/09, Tim Ellison <telli...@itsco.com> wrote: > > > What a collection of emotions I have at this announcement.
