Hello John thank you for the invite. I am no longer on the department that I was on as I have moved on but I didn't realize how much I was going to miss it.... I have a new venture now... check out my website page at www.etsy.com and my store is crazydaisycraft1. I sell coasters, trivets ( hot pads ) & now hot handle covers. 10% of sales on each product sold will be donated to the firefighter Terry Farrell fund. It's a great fund to help firefighters and their families in their time of need. They are handcrafted out of the same material that firefighter suits are made of. New material of course not used fire suits just to make that clear. Please if you could pass the word.
Thank you and stay safe out there
