How are things up you're way? All is well here, just got back from NY yeterday and happy to see some blue skies again. What's the closest airport to York Beach? I know it's early, but next June looks to be busy. Stay safe my friend,

Just echoing what Kris said; thanks for spending some time with us this past weekend. That kind of stuff is what makes the firefighting, and FOOLS, brotherhood what it is.
Stay safe man!

Things are good here, kids in the home stretch of school and they are excited for the summer. I have been busy as a one arm paper hanger, had very few days off in May, working or teaching, things are really taking off. Hope all is well with you and your family.
