    Hey, Paul:

    It was really good to see you at the forum in Weedsport Saturday (3/15/14). Lots of good ideas shared by a strong group of seasoned professionals with solid experience to bring to the table! Can't remember the last time our paths crossed, but it sure seems like a long time! Hope to see you at the NY Chiefs in June. I'm sure you're on Ted and Paulie's Fire Nuggets mailing list...any chance you'll make it to San Diego for the Andy Fredericks Memorial Golf Tournament in October?

    When you get a chance, shoot me an email at dchambers@fit4fire. I've got a couple of documents I'd like you to look at. In the meantime, be well brother and...

    Stay safe,
