Today we lost a great brother to a Drunk Driver

While I don’t think any of us can define “the brotherhood”, and really I don’t think we should have too, I believe we all know what it is not…and by avoiding what it is not, we foster what it is.

At 9:35pm on January 11, 2009, Ben Fleagle said…: Part time department? Well, well. Becoming a two-toner, eh? Good on yah, the missus not keepin' you busy with honey-do's?

I'd be happy to send you some Memorial stickers. I know I have your address, but send it again. As for the BC position. Well, I did a really good job of convincing the board that I really like being a Captain. I wasn't blazin' a trail to be the BC. My heart wasn't there, too soon after the funeral, not wantin' to drive the fire SUV for the rest of my life, ...I dunno. Greg Coon of Kenai, (formerly of North Star Fire back in the day) has won it, and we'll see him around the end of the month.
