Joe Hamilton, Working through Depression 

Joe Hamilton (14/2063) was feeling crushed by the turn his life had taken since the AR Virus.  He’d lost twenty years and ended up back on his parents’ farm in upstate Michigan.  He’d basically been an aimless wanderer ever since his teens, bumming from odd job to odd job and state to state.  With no really strong skills to fall back on, he’d tried to hitchhike from western Kansas back home.  It had been a frightening experience, with one-near kidnapping and a wreck that put him in a Missouri hospital for a week and left him with enough pain that standing for any length of time was difficult.
