    Hey Gang! Thanks for hitting my page! Don't forget to register for the Courage & Valor Fun Run at FDIC! The race is on Friday morning over by the baseball stadium. All of the money goes to the Courage & Valor Foundation! Even if you don't run, register and get the shirt! The money goes for a good cause!

    When I read your article "they're just trying to run off the volunteers" I was in awe,... it was just the way the volunteers in Chile feel any time that topic is brought up... Excellent article... thank you!!! (... by the way, I took the liberty to translate it into spanish)

    Wanted to let you know that the IFIA was honored to have you as our Keynote in January. I again enjoyed your lecture series at the Annual Fire Caucus and have passed on different key points you made at both events to anothers, both in the Fire Service and out of it. Looking forward to seeing you at FDIC, stay safe!
