Hey Ben! It would not allow me to reply to your email. Here is my personal cell 740 507 8802. If you could call me during the day on Monday or around 6pm Ohio time. I could explain more about the BHSC Project. Thanks for keeping in touch!
Your friend,
Todd McKee
Hello,
Just wanted to say thanks for the add. Also thank you for your input on the discussion of our own worst enemy. Hope things are well, stay safe.

I got to your page from FB and it seemed like a great opportunity to get signed up. I must say, your writing is very inspirational. I printed a few of the articles you wrote and will share them with my guys at work. Thanks for the kick in the pants I needed.
Life is good! My wife gave birth to our daughter 7 months ago and I am loving every minute of this new life.
Last we talked, the department was still in disarray, but now two of the chiefs are gone. So the waters have calmed but we are still drifting at the moment.
Hey Bro, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner... You know with all the new technology things are harder to remember. I got notification of your post on my Crackberry, said to myself "I'll reply later this evening" and what do you know, it's been a least a week.
I agree this site is better for the ones that "Get it" I have been horrible about checking it lately. And even worse about posting up things!!!
Sounds like today is a bad day In Buffalo. I know Mike will take it very hard. He is truley a Fireman's Chief and he considers each and every member of BFD a Brother. Sounds like the two men died for the right reasons though. Sad to say, but true.
Shoot me your email as soon as you can. I am trying to get an insurance meeting set-up soon.
Thanks for the ad and Take Care Brother. I miss you guys!!!
Hello there. Thanks for droppin in. Saw Tim yesterday (quarterly drill)...made the mistake of calling him little, haha. I think he's lookin forward to gettin out of here tho, for a little while at least. How's it goin up there with over a million acres burning?! That's just crazy! I hope all is well :)
Hey Ben,
Things are goin, I'm actually sitting in a city EMT-I class right now which will get me back on the line by December hopefully unless s*** changes again which is a definate possibility. Their playing the SAFER act game and still trying the grievence/arbitration avenue. I'm working on some other things too, I had an interview for a dept. a little closer to home the end of last month, waiting to here if I get a second interview. Hope things are goin good at the University. Great article on the International site, I appreciate everything you guys did for me more than you could know. Talk to you soon.
Wow! great words on the FOOLS site brother. You never cease to amaze me, and noboby can put it to paper (or computer) better than than Watash, the warrior poet.
Well done friend.
Looks like I won't be joining ya'll to eat any lobstah, this year. The economic "downturn" is killing any extra jack I had lying around. Have fun and drink one...or three for me. FTM-PTB
sweet!!! i am sure that you will take the opportunity to set him down and get him started on the fire engineering communities??? Pass on my congratulations and give him my love!
I plan on getting as much from Tim as I possibly can. He has been a great resource and mentor thus far, and I look forward to learning from him...glad to get some positive reinforcement tho...I wasn't too sure about him (haha, just kidding, I knew from day one)
