I am sorry, I honestly did not know the front of the book would take up so much space. Sorry, Roger
Take Care Brother
Say, I want you to know I just released the book, Avoiding Fire Department Induced CHAOS. I think I may have mentioned it at FDIC this past year. I am self publishing so far. It only became available this past week and the interest has been very rewarding. Shoot me a mailing address and I will gladly send you a copy. You can email me at lunt@ctitech.com
Well need to go. Stay in touch.

Glad to hear about the pump - I hope it works well.
Looking forward to seeing you and Cathy at Indy.
