My Job :
I'm a Research Assistant 2-Phy and work in the Low Temperature Facility. My office is in room 2144 and my shop is in room 2138, Smith lab. I build and repair low temperature appartus along with all the needed pumping and gas handling systems. I machine a lot of the parts needed for these. I have complete charge of the Helium recovery system, installing all lines and meters necessary to recover about 85 % of all Helium gas used. I help maintain the Helium Liquefier for the department. I also maintain and repair all the Stokes Vacuum pumps in the Department.
Personal History:
Larry and Elcena
I have been married to Elcena since June 1994. I was married in Cythiana, Kentucky, where my wife was originally from. My wife works for D.C.S.C. here in Columbus. I have two brothers and one sister. I have lived in Columbus for the last 40 years, mostly on the East side. I am a Kentucky Colonel. I came to work at O.S.U. part-time after high school in 1960. It has been a pleasure to work with my friend and supervisor for the past 30 years, Bob Kindler, and my friend and adopted little brother, Rich Kindler.

My hobbies are fishing, camping, and archery, but my most favorite hobby of all is model railroading.
