just stopping by to say hello, be safe out there brother

Hey Tiger,
I know your very busy so I'll keep this short. I plan on having an informational meeting about Hancock Hope at my Fire Department's station (Alplaus, located within Schenectady County, Town of Glenville) within the next month or so to discuss the next trip to West Hancock next July/August. I also have a lot people interested in joining Hancock Hope, who may not be able to go on the trip, and will be providing them with as much info as I know. I was wondering if you'd be in the area or be willing to be our guest speaker. I know I had talked with Dan Mackajena (old HH president) about 2 years ago about coming out here and doing the same thing, but then he resigned, so it all fell through. Anyways, it would be on a weekend, mostly likely a Saturday or Sunday in November, with a Power-Point presentation of HH's Mission statement, pictures that I've taken during my trips to WHFD, and some other things. Also Lunch will be provided. Let me know if your interested and if so, what weekends would work well with you.
I appreciate it and look forward to hearing from you.

Hey Tiger,
Just wanted to up-date you on the Hancock Hope out of the Capital Region:
You probably having been getting some e-mails from people whom I work with @ Mohawk Ambulance Service and from local Fire Departments out here. That's because I've assembled about 10 people who are willing to join the Hancock Hope team-specially the Emergency Response Team. I've had them e-mail you since your like the acting director-if there is someone else we should be coordinating with please let me know. Otherwise, I'll keep having people who are interested in joining HH keep e-mailing you. Also I've been keeping records of all their training, including mine-so that if we do happen to get activated for a response, I can just make copies and give them to the people we will be working with. Also, not sure if you knew, but me and another guy, Dave Giokas, a FF and EMT, recently went down to WHFD in late July/August for 9 days to help out Chief Jones. It was my second year and we've been invited back next year-so I'm planing to have my team (10 people) come down with us to give them some idea exactly what HH does. If you have a up & coming event even if it's local we'd love to join. Also if there are any projects (ie raising awareness, raising funds and collecting donated equipment, etc) that you would like for my team to under-take just let me know. Like I said back in March/April I'm really looking forward to helping HH get back off the ground and I have a team of about 10 people who are rip', roaring and ready to go. Thought I'd just shoot a message to you-since I haven't heard from you in a while.
Thanks and God Bless,
Scott

Anything new and/or exciting going on?

Hey Tiger,
Don't know if you check this alot, but we've been missing each other's comunications. I'm still very intertested in helping get Hancock Hope back off the ground. I have about 8-10 other people throughout the Capital District who are interested in both my annual trips to WHFD and to be added to the list of the HH Emergency Response Team (ERT) for future deployments. I will have them E-mail if you think this is best. I've already showed them HH's web site and explained what I thought were requirements as per my discussions with Dan M-when he was Pres. of HH. I'd really like to connect with you and lay out some ideas as well as make sure I have my "I's dotted and my T's crossed". Like I mentioned in April I'd like to take the role of Logistics Coordinator for the Capital District area with regard to HH if that's possible. Let me know either way and I'll E-Mail you with a list of who I've got and what their Qualifications are.
Thanks,
Scott "Runx" Runkel

Hey friend! Glad to meet you in Indy and put a face with the name. Hope all is well!
Cindy

Nice picture in the Buffalo News today pal, I didnt see you on the news though

Absolutely,
I'd like to volunteer my services and be the contact person for this part of Up-State NY (Capital District)-helping to coordinate Deployments and raising awarness, funding and even help finding resources (Manpower and equiptment) if that's possible and if you are looking for someone to do that. I do have several people from my own department (Alplaus) and a few from surrounding fire districts interrested and willing to help out with Hancock Hope-specifically with going down to WHFD in late July/August unless there is another fire department or area where you think we could be of greater service. Just let me know either way. My full time job is with Mohawk Ambulance Service as a Paramedic so I have a great resource to pull from in terms of expiernced and willing people to help out.
Thanks
