Tell your very lovely bride I said "Hey"...

All's well on the West Coast. Tons of travel and I'm almost out of Training Division and back on the rigs. CANNOT wait.

Sorry I won't be at SD this year. I'll be jetting off to Ohio to spend some time with those fine folks. Do your best to harass Phil and Steve a bit my absence.

Shoot me an email and tell me what's going on in your world. Last we chatted, you were head to SC.

Lost my phone on a call not to long ago, so I don't have any phone numbers. Call me soon so I'll have yours again. Talk to you soon. Stay safe.

Stay Safe,

At 12:00am on January 17, 2009, Joel Holbrook said…: Brother Dave, sorry to have not responded sooner, it has been a 24 call day and its not even midnight yet (can u believe we turned 6071 calls in 08), the burns were conducted on E Social Row. one house was west of Gebhart Rd, the other east of Gebhart. They were about 2 months apart and we took full advantage of a rare opportunity in these parts. I am trying to get the series of photos complied for brother McCormack. Ill get you a copy if you'd like. M Long took some incredible interior photos.. Be Safe!!

At 3:32pm on January 16, 2009, Matt Thomson said…: Thanks for the tip Dave.

At 10:49am on January 16, 2009, Matt Thomson said…: Dave,
What is your response to the guy who says "don't bother me with that crap" regarding training? What techniques did you find are helpfull to motivate the guys who don't want to learn?

At 6:26pm on January 15, 2009, Art Zern said…: Dave,

Feel free on the logo. I do believe we have met, likely first-in officer. I actually went through the B.S. in Fire Service Management with Buck....what a guy. The IFSI field satff are some of the best people in the fire service.

Thanks again,

Art

At 10:40am on January 14, 2009, Dan Minneman said…: Hey Gator,

Good to see you over the holidays. When I think the weather sucks in Dayton, I think of the stories you tell about from Holden. Roger and I are doing a FF1 at SCC this quarter. The thrill to teach is alive and well!

Be safe, Dan

At 10:27am on January 14, 2009, Joel Holbrook said…: Dave, still not as smart as you, that last comment from the wifies sign in was from me...duh..again, I hope all is well. be safe

At 11:03pm on January 13, 2009, Mark Chubb said…: Manitou is what we like to call a "boutique consultancy." In other words, we do small, specialized jobs, and get far less work than we would like. The company is based in Peekskill, NY and consists of a small collection of pointy heads like me, although all of our public safety guys have line and chief officer experience.

At 1:17pm on January 13, 2009, Kristine Holbrook said…: I hope you are doing good. You're missed here. Looking forward to catching up.

At 9:48am on January 13, 2009, Scott Kujawa said…: Good to see you hear! Look forward to chattin and pickin your brain.
