Welcome to Mount Up! with F-3

Fellow F Troopers:

I started doing Christmas cards (I guarantee you'll get at least one per decade!) and got to thinking about that commitment I made in September at our 30th reunion F-3 football tailgate (thanks George and Greg!).

I volunteered to be the point man of an effort to increase connections and find lost (to those of us there) troopers. At the time we were talking about how to increase the number of smiling F-3 faces at the 35th, as well as the (beer-fueled) desirability of increasing other opportunities for fellowship and gripping of hands.

This blog is what I've come up with. I'll add some real content after I've gotten out the aforementioned Xmas cards. The cards (and/or emails) to y'all will have the news of this blog's existence.

My plan (open to suggestions) is that each of us will sign on to be an author. Email me at skbarton13@removethis.gmail.com to get that done. Then you can post on this thing and share contact info, clues to the whereabouts of the missing, pictures, tales, etc.

For now this blog is open for the world to see. It can be made private when we find everybody, or find enough of us, or if you guys think that is the best way to go.

The nice and simple part of this idea for connecting is that the blog will maintain an archive of all the info shared, and it won't email you unless you ask it to, and you can check it or not check it whenever you want (if you really want to stay on top of what should be infrequent postings, you can add it to your feed reader).

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Mount Up!
