Fun Photo Emails

If you like reading about adventures from the field, you’ll like this section!

Most of these are emails sent from the field to update the folks left to fend for themselves back home.  Some of the messages are personal in nature, but all allow a humorous outlook on situations that are sometimes not very funny.

Simply select an email from the list then click on the picture or the title to view the email.
