Good to hear from you.
Things are going well here - busy as usual.
Let me know if you would like to do an interview. It would be good to talk to you!
I do hope our paths cross at FDIC. Maybe we can find time for a cup of coffee or something.

G******** from Illinois. We have plenty of extra water around here we can send down to sunny, dry Arizona. I just returned from the Unified Area Command in Quincy this PM. Many members of the Illinois IMT have been deployed to assist in managing the flood response and recovery.
You are missed by your friends on the FSI field staff, glad to hear you are doing well. I joined your group and will participate after a little rest.
Best Regards,
Art
I enjoyed listening to your first podcast with Colonel Jaehne this morning. Keep up the good work, I look forward to more podcasts.
Stay Safe,

Just got back from TRT validation today and we are starting the second go around of teams. It's neat to see how the pound and props have grown over the years. Take care.
