Hey guys! It is good to hear from someone. I've often thought of sending an email over this list to see if anyone is here. I'm not going to lie, I have found myself occasionally reading posts that I've kept from my time with you guys. I'd love to at least finish the cliffhanger that we were in. I'd also be on board with another rpg, star trek or what have you. It was kind of nice to have some escapism. As for real life, my wife and I live in Hastings Nebraska now. South central Nebraska if anyone is curious. My wife is teaching and I'm in my ninth year (sheesh) with the State Patrol as a sworn officer. We've been enjoying a down year crime-wise but as the world's economy slides, the crime rate seems to go up. (That's purely anecdotal, I don't know of any solid statistics on that.) So we're girding ourselves for an uptake in the crime rate. For now though, things are quiet and I'll take it. Anyway I hope everyone else is doing well and is anxiously anticipating the JJ Abrams interpretation of Star Trek.

It was a tough year for Star Trek, and I'm sure that "real life" interfered with our online activities. I know it did for me! I don't know how many of you still use the email accounts associated with this list, or if you do, you have any interest in replying. Suffice to say I never forgot this list, I never forgot the cliffhangers we brought our Vanguard characters to, but most importantly, I never forgot any of you! I've been curious about each of you, how you've been doing, what you've been up to, both online and off-, and whether you think about this list and bringing some resolution to the various characters we created for Vanguard. At the very least, I'd like to post the final Vanguard web page as it appeared, and post the roleplaying emails we wrote. They were all so good, each of them, that I think they deserve a wider audience. Please write back. Let us know how you're doing, how life has been treating you, what you've been up to, and whether you have any interest in participating in one more adventure for the crew of the Vanguard. I'm up for it if you are. But I need at least a few writing partners! And I promise, you have my word, that if we continue, we will at least finish this "mission" (which was our last/previous mission, I suppose). I hope this email finds you happy, healthy and well, no matter where you are. I look forward to any replies.
