Crew Photos

Rules for me posting crew photos

1. Send the photo with FE's in it. This is an FE site....so lets keep it that way.

2. You MUST give me the names of the people in the photo.....your not the only one that is going to look at the photo.

3. Keep it clean and respectable...after all WE are not the only ones looking at these photos. And a lot of people view this at work..

4. Dates and times of the photos would be nice, Give a narative of what is going on in the photo....

5. Refer to rule number 2....no names no posting of the photo..

When you have all of this info just send it all to my email address - engineer@centerseat.net

Below are photos pulled from the old website. They may not meet the new requirements I laid out but I thought you would like to see them just the same.

STEVE SCHWARZ ... AS YOU CAN TELL THERE IS ALOT MORE STORY TO THIS PICTURE...IM SURE HE WILL FILL US IN WHEN HE SEES IT POSTED.
