John - Ever consider asking other retired writers to occasionally contribute to RLN?
No, because it doesn't make enough profit to pay anybody but me and Eileen--and we wouldn't ask professionals (even if retired) to write for free.
However, we have paid a non-retired writer a little to do something. Not long after we started RLN, we paid Phil Shoemaker to a piece on 'Ol Ugly," the self-customized .458 Winchester Magnum he's been using as his favorite brown bear back-up rifle for many years.
