Just a quick bit of information you might want to look at. There is a free website that you can upload larger files to, and the recipient gets an e-mail telling them to follow the link, at which time they download it. Check this out: yousendit.com...

- Hey jeff
I would appreciate that list. And definitely let me know for the city stuff. Do you know if any Paid on Call spots are open, I would like to get in there to but I don't know where to start. I think Bart and Meat-head are trying to get me to do a vent training. That's why I want the good training material.

Please allow me to invite you to the group called Unique HazMat Incidents. I will be presenting this at the 2009 FDIC in Indy and I would love to have your input on some of the issues we are talking about.
