    Wes,
    What's going on Bro? Not much up here, still waiting for weather to change. That's sad when that's all we have to look forward to. Heading for Texas this week (Texas A&M) for the structual collapse school, looking forward to it. Say hi to the boys from Wison and I'll holler at you when I get back.

    Hey Wes,
    What's happening? The class in Texas was great. Lot's of work but I actually understand structual collapse better than I ever did. That's quite the place down there. They have everything. When I finally get around to downloading my pictures, I'll send a few your way. I wasn't on for the Lobster business fire but I had the train collision the night before. It took us 7 hours to extricate the operator. She was DOA but it took everything we had to get her body out. Our dept photographer took about 200 pics. I'm waiting for a copy of the disc. I'll send some of those also. What's happening in Wilson? Any go jobs. Talk to you later. Holler at the boysfor me
