Hey Rich, great to hear from you! I hope all is well with you and the family! How old is Zack now? Is Cathy doing well? Thanks for the invite. I might just take you up on it one of these days. I have been married almost 9 years now. I have 3 kids. Samantha is 15. Jason is 7. Jenna is 5. I miss those IFSI Hose Class Days with Rick Fritz and Andy Fredericks leading the discussions! Oh yeah, let's not forget the taxpayer leadout with Ken Wojtecki either! Fun Fun Fun!!!
Take care brother! Be safe.
