    John,

    Thanks for your time the other day. Rob was a big help. (who knew)

    Life is good on the left coast. Spring sports are underway which makes the home life busy! Looking forward to coming with a group of my fellas to teach out there in late April. Busy month with FDIC and we have our promotional exam. I know we can get together then for sure and maybe eat something we killed like in Utah!

    "Carry A Cardiac Tool Kit" was an article in FE (way back when). The author was a doc by the name of Willam A. Boehm, MD, FACEP if that helps. - Mike:)

    It was great to see someone elese using it in the fire service.
