Well, you had a good start.. there may be a shorter way to do this, but here's one way:
Code:
flag=0

if [ -f yourFile ]; then
 awk -F":" '{print $3}' yourFile |
 while read LINE
 do
  if [ $flag -eq 0 ]; then
   echo -n $LINE: >> resultFile
   flag=1
  else
   echo $LINE >> resultFile
   flag=0
  fi
 done
fi
