My boss in 1975. Russ had command presence. Once when Ron Wallace was the manager of WXLM I was very late for a Sunday sign on. Got there to find Ron sitting on the reception desk with a message to come in for a meeting with Russ Monday morning. At the time I was working for two radio stations and doing 40 hours a week at Great Dane. In my free time I was driving across the state twice a week to visit a girl. I expected a tense meeting. Russ had me explain my situation and how it came to be that I wasnt getting enough sleep to do a very simple job . Sunday sign on was 7;30 am. Well he told me to quit the Great Dane job figured out how to give me more hours at WXLM and gave me a raise. Gotta love a Marine. R.I.P.
