Former AFKNer Ed Autry checks in:
 

A 100,000 watt radio station in Carrollton, Missouri, KMZU, has a little program they air three times on Sunday, called "Voices of Veterans". 

I thought you might find this interesting.

Goodbye Starship

In the mid 90s Jim Johnson started afrts.homestead.com.  Last month it ended. 

His website was one of the first places where we could get together.  At first it was a message board and grew into a website.

When the late Bob Stoffel started the AFN group at yahoo, Jim  took the message board down and offered a link to the yahoo group.

Other than at reunion time the hitcount went down.  The hosting company raised their rates and Jim decided to not continue.

Thanks for all you've done Jim.
