New Cadet Kellogg Reporting
Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2016 10:34 am
Good morning. Harry Kellogg reporting for duty. I currently living in the northern most community in Wisconsin on Lake Superior. Previously I worked on a Incident Management Assistance Team for FEMA. No FEMA does not have black helicopters, internment camps or is planning on taking over the world and yes my grandfather's cousin was The Kellogg, I'm not rich however.
I started out at 10 years old playing Stratego in 1961, and have been hooked on simulations and war games ever since. Avalon Hill's Gettysburg was my first real simulation.
I have incredibly bad luck with die rolls. I once lost 33 armies to my opponents 1 army in Risk. That's right 11 straight losing rolls.
I am a life long amature military historian and have read almost everything written about the American Civil War. Being blessed with the world's worst memory, I forget many of the details of the battles, This means I can read about the same battle and not remember who wins and how.
I have written three books on a fictitious World War Three starting in 1946. The amount of research needed is astounding and I am now an expert on Soviet spies, late war German SAMs, Polonium, pigeons, the Savan Trout, midget submarines and dozens of other things I never imagined. The genre is Alternative History and many have been written about the ACW.
I've been around the world, to 49 states, have 4 kids and 5 grandkids, would move to New Zealand in a flash if one of my kids moved there and worked with the CDC on the Ebola crisis. Retired and ready to play some games.
I really appreciate the dedication and hard work that this whole organization represents and will play hard and have fun while doing it.
Thank you
Harry
