    Your mug was on the front of some wanted poster in Kansas. Not sure what that was about... No, it was on the homepage of the FE Training Community site (this site). There is 4 profiles that randomly pop up and at the time I was on, it was yours! And yes, you probably did see something about the Downey Award. Your eyes did not decieve you. Not sure it is warranted but I will be getting it next month.

    Be safe Bro.

    Enjoyed your elevator class last month in Brookhaven NY for Lt. DiBernado memorial training seminar. It has been a long time since I've seen a good class on elevators and elevator rescues.
