Sam Hazzard- Characterization

    Sam Hazzard was, perhaps, one of the most important characters to the whole story. Sam Hazzard had a radio that allowed Randy and himself to know as much as possible about what was happening in the war and in the world, outside of Fort Repose. They rarely heard anything that had to do with our government but without the radio that Sam Hazzard had, they wouldn't have heard some valuable information. The radio also allowed Sam Hazzard to try to decipher codes in the military since he was once in the military, but he did not have much luck in that respect. Sam Hazzard was an older gentleman, but not to old to help anyway he can. He helped find highwaymen with Randy Bragg, and he also went to get salt when the town, but especially their neighborhood, ran out.
