Frank T. Raines (aka FTR) introduced himself to the Field Gulls community on February 5th, 2021, with the well-received 'If I were John and Pete (Part One)'. Three days later, FTR submitted part three of that nine-part series, advocating for the Seahawks to trade Russell Wilson -- 13 months to the day before they did exactly that. Best known for his disinterest in traditional writing styles and his bromance with the shrug emoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, FTR enjoys sharing an overly optimistic view with his fellow 12s, and dreams about the '12 Thoughts' article he'll write after the Seahawks win their next Super Bowl.
