    Thanks for the invite. I grew up in Chesnee, SC. I left in 1996. My family still lives there, so we visit often. I still miss the Carolinas, but had to move to support the the family. Hope all is well in Oconee. Stay Safe - EGH

    Hey Scott, read your response to the SOP blog and was wondering if you could send me the info as well. My dept is under new leadership and in desperate need of SOP's, the new Chief is wanting to start the process and has asked me to help, now I am seeking the help of others. Will you be at FDIC? If so, we could meet there to talk more about this, if not, could you send info to indiana_firechick@yahoo.com or you can reach me by phone at 260-703-0021 Thanks!

    Scott,

    The skill sheets are working out great. We have done some of them already. If you are willing to send out the new D.O. ones that would be great.

    Stay Safe, Brother,

    Scott..

    I want to thank you for the kind words in your invitation. I just try to share what I have learned over the past 45 years. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is just experience. Take care and stay safe,
