    Mr,Dodson.

    I've been trying to get in contact with you because I read your column "Where's the smoke".  Think it's a "must read" for spanish speaking FF so wanted to talk with you to get your permit to translate it. Good for us (can get the knowledge), excellent for you (your teaching gets expanded to a h*** new world!).

    Please let me know were to write you. Thanks!
