Yes, you have finally arrived...come in and peruse what's here at jss3.com! Hopefully, you will find something of interest, and come back soon. JSS3 is evolving, and will change often, trying to find content and photos worthy of posting. So who knows what you'll find next time!

 John Stewart Slack III (JSS3)   

Welcome to JSS3 on the web...and to Louisiana, a great place to live and work. It is comprised of four distinct areas, perhaps five: Northwest Louisiana (actually Far-East Texas!); Cajun Louisiana starting casually at Lea's Lunchroom in LeCompte, just south of Alexandria; the Feliciana Parishes (including Baton Rouge); and..."The City" (New Orleans) with the "bedroom communities" north of Lake Ponchartrain. It's amazing how different the accents sound in each of these areas. (We cringe when Hollywood attempts to depict any of the 4 or 5 different New Orleans accents.)

We enjoy having visitors but you foreigners will enjoy the weather during March when the azaleas and dogwoods are in bloom. Please, do not come down here in July and August and complain about the heat and humidity. Why do you think air-conditioning was invented?! We work hard to afford it. (It ain't the heat, it's the stupidity!)

If you are an Amateur Radio Operator, bring your 2 meters & 440 rig. I'm usually listening on 145.23 or 146.79 and 444.60. These repeaters are quite friendly and helpful to visitors.

Rebel & I enjoy our annual vacation time spent with good friends on St. John, USVI. I propose a toast to those who live there, those who visit, and those who want to do either or both...

Slainte, Y'all !
