I joined the fire service for lots of reasons. One being that my friends joined because of there fathers. Second because of my grandfather was a firefighter with Barnard Fire Department in Rochester and i can remember the stories he told to me as a child.
Thanks for poking me. I wanted to tell you congratulations on your presentation at FDIC. I'm sure it wasn't easy because of the neighborhood connection but I hope the more you tell the story - the easier it will get. Like I told you then, it didn't matter how the story came out because it was very apparent of where it came from - your heart.
Sorry we didn't have the chance to share any adult beverages but I ended up conducting a lot of business while I was there that consumed a lot of my time. Besides, I figured you wanted to spend some quality time with your home slices and kick back.
Let's connect soon. Call me about some joint presentation opportunities.
David, Think I sent same message a couple of times. Bear with me. Interesetig to hear your open concern for your guys and gals. That seminar in Batavia was on Disaster Mental Health and was lead by Pati Aine Guzinski of NYSDOH. I believe she headed up the diaster mental health sector at your sight. Chief Bill from Alabama F.D. was there too. Great guy! My prayers are with you and yours.
David, I recognize the name and address. I figure. if you wanted everyone to know how you gained national recognition as a heroic OIC back in February, you would have mentioned it. I just came from a two day seminar in Batavia where your leadership was sighted often. I'm proud to be on the same page with you. Yours in Faith, Pete
David, welcome to the FF Nation. I am glad you dropped in to join the group. Dont be shy. There is lots to do, read and be involved with. Your participation and involvement is important to us all. Takes a bit to kinda figure it all out but you will be glad you did. Have fun and look around.
