  • Excited to see all of the FNG’s and PAX encouraging each other as we found ourselves sopping in FLOP SWEAT!

  1. Inspector Gadget

    Thanks for the kind words and the great Q, Banjo. It is easy to see why Florence is KILLING IT, right out of the gate. The warm welcome was much appreciated, and made me feel right at home, in my hometown.

    EIGHT FNG’s in one Q is outstanding!! I saw some things I want to take back to Greenville too.

    I can attest that the principles and ideals of F3 are in very capable hands in the Florence region.

    I will be back in town in two weeks for mom’s 87th birthday. I plan to post with you guys again, and hopefully, I won’t have to skip the Coffeeteria.

    Aye.
