I'm a fan. It's put together well and unlike my own podcast, The Connection sounds high quality.
Trying to find people advocating cultural change is often difficult but there are a core group of people who want to maintain the best traditions whilst looking forward. Anything I can do to help please let me know.
Nice Job on the podcast. Sorry I missed you at Fire College this year. Hope to see you in October at FSWI.

Greetings from Illinois. We have plenty of extra water around here we can send down to sunny, dry Arizona. I just returned from the Unified Area Command in Quincy this PM. Many members of the Illinois IMT have been deployed to assist in managing the flood response and recovery.
You are missed by your friends on the FSI field staff, glad to hear you are doing well. I joined your group and will participate after a little rest.
Best Regards,
Art
I enjoyed listening to your first podcast with Colonel Jaehne this morning. Keep up the good work, I look forward to more podcasts.
Stay Safe,

Just got back from TRT validation today and we are starting the second go around of teams. It's neat to see how the pound and props have grown over the years. Take care.
