We're sure you've missed hearing from us, so here is a much needed update from the somewhat-good people of PAR.

This is our current team at the office; from left to right, we have Chelsea, Kat, Jason, and Joe (the last two faces you certainly recognize from the post office wanted posters).

Please keep an eye on our page as we revamp it and return to posting more regular updates of our adventures in both the field and office.
