Dear Tom, it is great to hear from you and I can not thank enough for the kind words of support. I know there are a lot of horror stories about promotion to chief officer level, but this is not one of them - I am loving my move and promotion. I work for a great group of men and women. The changes are coming fast and they are keeping up unlike anywhere. It sure has proven that no matter how old or how long I do this job, the learning just will never stop. Got to love it Tom. I hope all is well in Framingham! Please be safe with all this "beautiful" weather happening now. It is good for work though!! Rick

So sorry for the loss. There is never a good time for that. But at least. with CISM we have a chance as peer counselors and CISM teams we can help the traumatized cope, work through the first steps of grief, normalize their quite surreal feelings and hopefully, get them started on a quick recovery.

If there is ever anything I can do, please do not hesitate to ask. This is what I do...this site is my personal investment in the responders... My back no longer lets me drag a hose or use a pike pole but I can listen, encourage, repair and give comfort and help in emotional recovery, You can e mail me at ocaptd@yahoo,com anytime.

So glad you were there with good tools when they were needed., I am working with a firefighter elsewhere that is totally debilitated still after several years... because the same tools we not available. Blessings

Please allow me to invite you to a site designed by responders for responders... the crew that is doing it is CISM multilevel trained and are there for the guys after the bad calls. It helps the responders that do not yet have a team or would be worried that they asking for help would be seen as weakness. Please join and share it when you can. As a chaplain with over 25 years of service to fire departments I am excited with it's potential to provide support.
