* First or nickname? Chris or "fugi" (pronounced "f'yoojee") Nick is short for "fugitive." Sorry, no details here. Maybe later.
* How long have you been a Fulton County resident? My family moved here from Florida in November 2005.
* If originally from elsewhere, what brought you to Fulton County? Hard not to turn this into a novella, but there are several reasons: 1) better quality of life for reinforcing positive values where rearing my children is concerned; 2) Rural beauty similar to the MD/DC area back in the '70's; 3) Weather-wise, safer than the I-95 corridor (and no, we are not "Katrina people"!).
* What do you like about this area? See above, plus I've met some wonderful people so far. Also, for the most part Fulton County hasn't totally legislated itself into nearly irreversible decisions.
* What concerns do you have? Reviving economic growth with intention to reach sustainability, fostering community initiative for achieving positive goals, and a few other things.
* Why did you join this forum? I started this forum to give the residents of Fulton County an online venue for civil discussion. With luck and supportive input from the community, it will also be productive and enjoyable. (What do you say, folks?)
* What do you hope to contribute to this forum and/or in a hands-on capacity? Online is expressed above. Away from the keyboard is anyone's guess. When some mindsets become capable of accepting the contributions of newcomers who are willing to be of service, remarkable things can happen for our community.
* What do you envision for Fulton County's future in one/five/ten years from now? Time seems to flow differently here, so any speculations I may have are rather pointless at the moment. However, change in some form is inevitable.
* What topics would you like to see covered here? The subject content is not, nor will be ultimately dictated by any one individual or group. If enough members are interested in any particular topic (ex. crafts, gardening, outdoor sports, etc.), boards can be created, and hosts (moderators) can be appointed. Some things that would be extremely helpful require input from members. These would include a database of regional, state, and federal links, and a community events calendar. Who wants to help? This is your forum. For now I'm just the code monkey and referee.
* Care to add anything else? Shoot... I don't know. Got questions? Fire away. If the answer isn't really anyone's business, I'll be respectful about it. I hope others will do the same. If I trust you to be discrete, I may tell you privately. I'm pretty straightforward, yet diplomatic. I value honesty, open-mindedness and willingness. I'm not afraid of messing up my hair or breaking a fingernail to get a job done correctly the first time.
