When I was a teenager as well I use to dial into a local bbs or two that had
Fidonet support.
If I remember correctly the bbs was called "Eye of the Storm"
The sysop was John Bloomstrom I believe.
In a nodelist I think I saw the old node number.
It was in West Palm Beach, FL.

Fidonet probably doesn't have the user base that it once had there are probably
30 or 40 really active users at this point that I know of.
Most have a love for older systems and about half os them use old hardware to
run them in some way or another.
Others use vm's and some use Raspberry Pi computers.
I am relearning everything I once knew and even taking it forward now that I
have the skill set to put things together properly.
