I will be driving out to FDIC on Sunday April 19. Monday I will be in Bully Goldfeder's class all day. I don't know where I'll be the rest of the time. I plan on going to the National Fire Academy Alumni meeting and the National Fallen Firefightrers Stop, Drop, Rock and Roll.

I will be looking for firefighter safety classes and of course all the brand new shiney apparattus. Hook up with me and get your picture taken and have a genuine FDIC souvinveer that you don't have to find room for in your bag. I'll e-mail it back to you.

Please leave a message and contact info if you want to meet me out there. While enjoyable and fascinating FDIC is too expensive to keep going to so this is probably my last year for a while.

Other events I expect to attend are the race at Dover, Cumberland Valley Volunteer Fireman's Association Convention in Newark, Deleware, and a reception as part of the Congressional Fire Service get together.

If you are headed to Baltimore or DC, please let me know.
