It’s at an am version of The Punisher YHC made his F3 AO debut following a year so stint (and F3 intro) in the Buckeye State . YHC’s first bout with The Punisher featured a PAX of 5 (shouts to Splinter on the Q, Honeydo, Offshore, Flipper and YHC to round out) so it felt appropriate to share that same number this evening. 6pm…..

Three posted for the evening Punisher. We gathered, as usual, in the front parking lot under a sunny sky. Posted separately prior to the usual Punisher was a backblast from a visit during the early morning by some F3 brothers from the far Southside. Included in this backblast was a reference to the scary house at the rear of the property. There have been some questions about this during our evening tours of the AO. Will endeavor to share a little history on the school site courtesy of a couple of sources (City, RPS, and Historic Richmond Foundation). Linwood Holton…

Mosey back to the AO for COT. Appreciation to all who have sacrificed their lives…
