Hi John, Thank you for the invite and also for your years of service. Wow, forty six + years! I guess you can really say, been there and done that? IMT, now is the way to go and is recognized throughout the country. Take care!
Hi John. You are my first friend on FirefighterNation. I took a couple of classes at NFA. That is where I met my husband, Chris Waters. Did you know him? He was the Haz Mat chair at NFA.
Thanks for the welcome, since retiring I worked at Radio Shack for over 6 years and then became a full time granddaddy to the most awesome granddaughters a man could have - they are now 14 and 9, when I can't hang with them I work with several churches helping families that need help, but if I can I'm usually taking pictures of something, it's the only hobby I've kept up with since I was 11 or 12 years old.
Nice home page, I enjoyed reading it, it feels good to be back with "my family" as I've been retired since 98. I was elected in November as an Alderman in my home town of Woodland Mills, TN, and I serve on the Local Emergency Planning Committee and have been appointed to receive training to become the new Public Information Officer for the LEPC in the event of an emergency. When it gets in your blood (Fire Service) you just can not stay away. As I can see on your home page, great to hear from you.
Hows it going John, I saw your personal message with your friend request but I didnt realize after I hit accept your message disappeared, so I didnt write down your email address. If you could please send it again I would appreciate it along with your message. It would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry it took so long to reply to your friend request. I don't access FireFighter Nation to often. I get the e-mails & ck in when I can. Thank you for the welcome.
